The Girl You See Today

The girl you see today, Is not what she used to be, She used to be so fragile, If you could have been able to see. The girl you see today, Used to cry herself to sleep Suffering with depression, Her emotions ran so deep. The girl you see today, Was bullied for no good reason, Hating school everyday, And throughout every season. The girl you see today, Was lonely and rejected, Had nearly no friends, And by half her family was neglected. The girl you see today, Was so innocent and small, Couldn't free herself, From the bullies and their wall. The girl you see today, Is no longer what she was before, She's rude and uncaring, Because she doesn't want to hurt anymore.
