Step into her shoes
Run
run from your thoughts
and hide from the constant
questions.
keep your problems at a personal stage
don't let anyone in
they´ll only use you...
Step into the girl´s shoes
see what she goes through
hear what she hears in her head
nothing fights her more than
herself.
feeling broken she got
nowhere to hide
her friends say they care
and as much as she wants to...
she just can´t believe them.
a simple look in the mirror
she waits for it to shatter
the scars that litter her body
you never asked about
she needs help
but she too afraid to seek it
too much past for her to explain.
she doesn't want it thrown in
back in her face.
the only answers you get from her
¨Nothing¨
or ¨I´m ok¨
Did you ever wonder about her?
did you ever think Maybe she's
feels lonely?
Mabey she wants to climb and jump off a bridge
because that may be
her only escape.
No, you didn´t.
You ignored her silent pleas
her constants ¨sorrys¨
you never thought to hug her
and just let her cry
The word happy makes her cry
you get frustrated with her
you never break it down
you scream the harmful words
until you threaten to
leave her standing alone.
she quickly makes it back to her feet
apologizes for her problems
giving you stress.
you tell her she is not
depressed
one day, she will disappear
regret could eat you alive
You cut the laces to her shoes
you run barefooted to yours.
do you see now?
she´s not lonely
she is just distant
