Scared Girl Who's Trapped


In your eyes you see a regular 16 year old when really I'm a girl who's trapped in her own world. I'm a girl who's scared of the future, who's scared of being hurt or cut that has to wait to get sutured. Which doesn't work because I still feel the pain, I feel that no matter how hard I try it's all just in vain. Doesn't matter how much I try to look beautiful or pretty I don't feel like it, so I end up complaining and having a fit. I keep envying other people and crying about how I don't have the potential, and I keep believing it. But now's the time to stop and just clear my thoughts of negative energy and put some positive things into my life, especially from now on, those negative demons will be gone.
