Supernova Girls

Pretty girls don't have to hide Scars with sweaters and lies. They don't have to cover up How ugly they feel inside. And lovely girls are not afraid Of the demons inside their mind. Normal girls don't cry at night And think of such monstrous things. And other girls don't have to smile just to cover up their pain. Nice girls do not screw up And feel worse than they did in the first place. You may say that I'm lovely, or nice, or pretty. And you will see a broken smile shy upon my face. And at first you may think that I am actually okay. Until you get a closer look, and you notice The light in my eyes, is fading away. I used to be one of those girls.. But I have been hardened. I have been changed. The innocence has gone and the darkness reigns. Years ago my bright eyes drowned Into solitary oceans of fear.. So don't mind my teary eyes Thre next time you whisper those Sweet nothings into my ear..

Awesome! Love the part about broken smiles! I completely relate (except for the being a girl part of course)
