Secrets

She's nervous, she's scared,
Anxiety, tampers with her head.
Friendless and lonely 'cause no one really cares.
Secrets she's keeping, burying in her mind,
Creeps out and haunts her every single time.

Happy, laughing, helping so much souls,
She's hiding, crying and no one even knows.
Her family are bullies, pushing her down,
No one to turn to, she's all on her own.

The mask is breaking, she's falling apart,
But there she's smiling with a shattered heart.
Negativity surrounds her, stealing her away,
She's lost hope in humanity in every possible way.

At night she wakes, to protect herself
From any danger towards her health.
Drugs forcing its way to her stomach,
Leaving her with minor discomfort.

She wants to have a normal life
Just to be treated like any other child.
But the world is unfair and she's its victim
She's officially at rock bottom.
