She’s walking down the street

Those stylish shoes pinch her feet

The day has been real long

She won’t admit that something’s wrong

She drops her new bag on the floor

As she walks through the front door

Only to be greeted with even more pain

Happiness is something she can’t gain

She walks up those creaky stairs

Her parents don’t even care

That she walks right by without word

The tears make her vision blurred

She throws her self onto her bed

She can’t help but wish she was dead

But what she doesn’t know

As she lays there feeling low

Is that every time I see her smile

The days become worth while

When she and I hang out

I lose every single doubt

In why I’m here in this place

I’m here to put a smile on her face

Every time she hurts herself in vain

I too go through great pain

I can’t make it right again

I can’t ask to stop the rain

Watching her struggle with the sorrow

Make for an even darker tomorrow

On my very own horizon

And she goes with out realizing

The kind of pain she puts herself through

Gives me real sorrow too

When she comes to me in the hall

I see her cuts and spirits fall

But I smile and pretend I’m not mad

She’s getting help and I am glad

But deep down something’s yelling

Screaming out what I’m not telling

Keeping me awake at night

As I pray with all my might

Hoping that happiness is coming

But doubt keeps my heart a drumming

I want to yell out in pain

But from that what would I gain?

I’m stuck here on the sidelines

Pretending everything is fine

For both her sake and mine
