Why she writes
This is a story about girl who's smile reached the sky
Until she felt the world’s deny as it fell to pieces before her eye
A masquerade upon her face
To hide the features that were seen as a disgrace
Silent words scarred her skin
In a world where emotions were a sin
Like a doll upon a shelf
She forgot herself
And she tried to be like everyone else
But in the end she destroyed herself
In the darkness she was alone
She could not be saved for her hatred had grown
Screaming at ever error in the mirror
For her flaws could not be any clearer
Her will to live was shaking
Her mask was breaking
Silent pleas upon her lips
But no one listened bcause her words were like a rehearsed script.
A pen and paper was her last solution
Because death was her only conclusion
But as the words flowed
Her soul began to unload
The words lighted guide
Through a darkened lullaby of a girl who never cried.
If hatred was her reality
Then she would rather drown in a written fantasy
Her words create a world in which she take flight
And this is why she writes.
