she was the girl
the girl in the limelight
the one that made the other girls jealous
the one that made all guys swoon
the social butterfly; the glitter girl
the centre of the stage
the life of the party
everyone just saw
the laugh on her face
but not the pain in her eyes
her perfect porcelain skin
but not the wounds on her thighs
nobody knew
how broken she was inside
or how she cried herself to sleep every night
