The Girl Inside
I sit here staring out the window
Seeing everyone scurrying down below
And the sun fighting to be seen
But the clouds keep coming seems kinda mean
And that's when I realized
It came to me as a surprise
There in the sky
It was as if I saw my life, no lie
Always trying to do for everyone around me
And the smaller more beautiful things I just don’t see
Somewhere along life's journey, seems I've lost my way
Not sure of where to go or what to say
Now here in this time and place
Seems like none of that matters in such a confused place
All I can think about is getting out
But these doctors are so full of doubt
All they see is the girl that fell down
Now all of a sudden on my head there seems to be a depression crown
But the truth is they don't know me
One part of me is all they see
They don't know the girl that loves with all her heart
They don't know the girl people turn to when everything falls apart
They've only seen the weakest side of me
But the truth is there's so much more to see
They see the girl who’s having a hard time
But they know nothing about the girl writing this rhyme
Truth be told her and I are one in the same
And no I don't see this as a game
I'm the girl who made a huge mistake
But from this lessons learned I will take
And never again will I let things go this far
This I promise on my very own shooting star!
