That Girl

Everyone thinks they know that girl. At least they think they do. You know that girl that makes everyone laugh, and is a class clown. Who used to be a star athlete. And had everything going for her. Yeah that girl that everyone thinks they know She became homeless at the age of 16 due to a house fire. Yeah that girl everyone thinks they know Yet that girl is still laughing away and making everyone laugh, but isn't the same inside, No, Something inside of her changed they way she felt. Yeah that girl everyone thinks they know She became mentally ill, she was diagnosed with major depression and bipolar disorder. She was always under medication, so you never knew what side of her you where going to get. Yeah that girl everyone thinks they know No one knew how much she hated hearing sirens go off, or how she couldn't stand seeing fire trucks. She struggled living her life daily. Yeah that girl everyone thinks they know She lost her closes friends cause she shut them out and nearly lost them all. Yeah that girl everyone thinks they know From what I hear it's been 3 years since the fire and that girl is barely getting her sight of her future back. Yeah that girl everyone thinks they know She is talking to her lost friends again, but just isn't the same for her, so she has to make new ones. Which means she has no one. Yeah that girl everyone thinks they know She is happier now and is looking forward to graduating and moving on from this chapter of her life and letting go. How do I know so much of her?, well "that girl" is me.Yeah that girl that everyone thought they knew. But im fine now. Sure I have my downfalls, but I still get up and smile. THAT GIRL IS ME, I AM THAT GIRL.
