She bows her head and closes her eyes
As she sheds her tears aloud
She crosses her heart and hopes to die
The truth will follow the crowd

She sits and watches her peer’s reaction
Their every move and motion
Their oh’s and oh my god’s
Their advice followed by their notions

The truth of her life comes out to all
Face painted like a clown
Why the little girl laughs the loudest
To hide the hurt and pain deep down

Her insecurity is her shadow
A trail of long lost hope
She feels isolated from the world
And it gets harder everyday to cope

The corner is her shelter
The border from her fears
She’s haunted by each memory
The ones that cause the tears

She stays silent, keeps to herself
Hoping someday someone will understand
Waiting till that day comes
When someone will lend a helping hand
