Just a Girl

Just a girl in a room, sitting on the floor, I can see her in this window, but I see no door Crying her song of anguish, of this unspeakable pain, Has every intention never to feel it again I rock, I tremble, my life is at cost All I know is this shell, for it's myself...my core...my all I have lost From the start I new this fight could only last so long, I aimed to defeat it, striving to remain strong Each day in and day out, facing the demon, fighting the doubt At a moment with no warning, without any clue I was losing my strength...my energy...all the will I once knew For now, my all is lost, my memories are faint, There is no pretty picture left for me to paint This girl on the floor, in this empty room Was this girl condemned for a life of doom My tears disappeared, like they'd never been there Dried up with my soul, the time is clear Wanting to shake her, make her open her eyes To show some hope, the blue is still in the skies Then, out of nowhere, I found the door I wanted to save the girl on the floor As I neared and inched to her close She wasn't that girl, what I saw was a ghost As I turned to walk out, stopped by a noise I heard the laughter of girls and of boys With that came a voice of peace and of grace She told me, she's happy, no-more demon for her to face I am calmed, I'm reassured, I'm no longer in pain She was the broken me, but now I am strong again
