The Girl With A Mask (Part 2)
She looks so beautiful, so happy
But no one would believe how she feels about herself
No one would even imagine what her nights consist of
She's so friendly, so loving
She's always lending a helping hand
She's so caring, so patient
She's always giving a listening ear
But no one would ever believe how much she hates herself
This girl appears so perfect, so content
But inside she's so fragile
Inside she feels as if her whole being has shattered into a million pieces
Inside she's so discontent, so broken
"When will this pain end?"
"When will I be happy with myself?"
"When will I, myself, feel that I am beautiful?"
She asks herself these questions every night
She feels hopeless
Inside she's so fragile, so broken
She wants to die
She just wishes the pain would end
She wishes the agony, the hatred, the hypocrisy would just disappear
She wants to die
But each day she continues to rise
Not really knowing why
She opens the cabinet, grabs the bottle of pills
Returns to her room
"I'm so done"
She snaps the cap off
The door opens
Her little brother's head pops in
She covers the bottle
"Hey sis, are we still going to watch a movie?"
She looks at him and begins to cry,
As her brother walks over and holds her
She then remembers she'll be alright
Because she's an angel in her little brother's eyes
And she realizes that he's the reason she continues to rise
