16

she 16 
every move she makes is a seen 

and no one seems to realize 
what hides behind her eyes

all judgmental people see 
is the side she doesn't what to be

so she cries at night 
because she cant see the light 

anymore 
anymore

and she hopes and prays 
that one of these days

she"ll be able to change

home is where she wants to be but you can never see or tell 
if its ganna be heaven or hell 

and all her friends just lie
because they"d rather be out high

so she thinks no one cares 
because no ones there 

so she cries at night 
because she cant see the light 

anymore 
anymore

and she hopes and prays 
that one of these days

she"ll be able to change

with scares up and down her arm 
how could she put herself in so much harm 

she living in a human cage 
with all this built up rage 

how could she stay sane

so she cries at night 
because she cant see the light 

anymore 
anymore

and she hopes and prays 
that one of these days

she"ll be able to change

Change is like a ray of sun, it's inevitable, Your sun is behind some clouds and clouds are temporary. You will change with the sun pierces the clouds and believe me there are people who care. Nice work...Raul
