Some Pretty Mistakes | ✓

Dark Enough

There is a girl
In the front of my class
Who I swear I've 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...

There is a girl
In the front of my class
Who's eyes are glazed over
Like newly cut glass

There is a girl
In the front of my class
Who's sad that you find it rare
To see her smile or laugh

There is 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 up
You couldn't save me anyway...

And to the girl in the back of the class
Who feels the way I did...
