Yung Soldier (Pt. I)

She holds her head high, Never cry. Hide herself from the world A mask she controls well Smile and laugh She tells herself Hide the pain and hurt They'll never understand Even if you tried to tell your story Yung soldier Yung soldier No one will ever know That you've wanted to go AWOL Or just quit it all Family could care less This is all a mess No outlet, just her and her emotions But no time to shed a single tear Because to the world she hasn't a fear At least that's what she wants them to believe A mask she designed all to well She looks at life as a challenge Alll the things she must balance Yung soldier Yung soldier No one will ever know That you wanted to go AWOL Or just quit it all.
