No Emotion

This girl shows no emotion and never really did as
a kid, she knows what will happen if she
lets people in,
As a baby her father walked away, he told her he'd
be back every single day,
Not once did he come to show her he cared, so the girl 
hid her emotions to pretend they weren't there,
Showing her emotions lets people bring her down, so she
lets no one in and walks with a frown,
She is very grateful for what she does have, but expressing
herself to others is hard because of that,
The damage he has done has turned her this way, she 
wishes she could let people in and feel o.k.
