Underprivileged

I'm a girl
Lost in this world,
Tryin' to show up.
I was deeply in love, 
And now thinking of,
To just grow up.
Half my life,
Been with a knife,
Just to cut.
To lose this game,
And feel more pain,
But for what?
Again, I'll try,
But not to cry, 
But actually give.
I'll try to find,
A beautiful mind, 
And a life that I can live.
