Drowning In Life

Little town in the boondocks Little girl just waiting to grow up People thought her life was perfect Thought she was perfect, but she wasn't She felt like an outcast with her friends, felt like an outcast to the whole wide world, felt like she'd burst with all her troubles, felt like she'd drown in her life Perfect grades got her freedom Horrible temper got her grounded Couldn't keep up with her parents expectations Perfect music got her first chair Sharp tongue got her the hallway Couldn't stop cursing her teachers and life Perfect actions got her friends Fights got her in the office with none Couldn't keep all these friendship rules straight So she started drowning in her life Got in trouble everyday Couldn't help it with all the rules to break Started skipping classes, cutting school Her grades went down the drain with her life Ranaway, came back Found out that life wasn't for her Couldn't keep anything straight Couldn't do anything right So she drowned in her life Yeah, she drowned in her life

Such a sad story. Sad to know that there really are people who don't know God's peace. Your words touched my heart.
