The Girl Who Could Never Understand

There was a girl so free and young; untouched by the darkness she was yet to become. Not yet grown up but wishing she would. She didn’t realise it would make her numb There was a girl who dreamed of the future, who wished of being smart, pretty and free. She told herself it take years to understand, When it actually only took three. There was a girl who became obsessed with things such as looks and grades. Every time she ‘messed up’ her confidence slipped: until someone told her about a blade There was a girl who was once so innocent, never before heard of self-harm, but suddenly she knew how to cope! All she had to do was cut her arm. There was a girl who was dead inside- Not understanding the darkness she had become. She grew up too fast just like she wished: Now she’s dead because she felt too numb.
