Dark Enough

There is a girl in the front of my class

Who I swear I'd never seen do anything but laugh

She's tall and she's smart,

Beautiful and strong,

And when someone's down she tries to fix what is wrong

How does someone so perfect

Feel so insecure,

As to scar her skin with cuts and burns

And still want to hurt more.

How does someone so loving

Learn to hate her own guts.

Drawing a picture on her arms with a blade as if

Her mind isn't dark enough.

There is a girl in the front of my class 

Who's eyes are glazed over like newly cut glass

The ghost of a smile hints at her face

And she laughs as they tell her whose on first base.

How does someone so perfect

Feel so insecure,

As to scar her skin with cuts and burns

And still want to hurt more.

How does someone so loving

Learn to hate her own guts.

Drawing a picture on her arms with a blade as if

Her mind isn't dark enough.

There is a girl in the front of my class

Who's so sad you find it rare to see her smile or laugh

Her friends tell her jokes like the one with the guy

But all she does is close her eyes and enter her mind.

How does someone so perfect

Feel so insecure,

As to scar her skin with cuts and burns

And still want to hurt more.

How does someone so loving

Learn to hate her own guts.

Drawing a picture on her arms with a blade as if

Her mind isn't dark enough.

For her imperfections.

There was a girl in the front of my class

Who yesterday took the breath that was her last

She wrote a few notes

"I'm sorry I didn't say

But my mind was messed 

You couldn't save me anyway.

And to the girl in the back of the class

Who feels the way I did.

How does someone so perfect

Feel so insecure

As to scar her skin with cuts and burns and 

Still want to hurt more."
