Strory With A Twist

(I wrote this for a very close friend of mine. You know who you are <3)

There's this beautiful girl I know

But her story has a twist

Her paintbrush is a razor

And her canvas is her wrist

She feels she isn't good enough

Like she's never going to fit in

She's bullied at school and pushed around

Repeatedly putting face to ground

But her wrist has always been her canvas

Her razor remains her paintbrush

And as captivating as her smile is

There's no way I can convince her that there is a happy ending

There's no way that I can convince her that she's beautiful

There's no words that I can say to change her mind

Or make it go away

The only thing that I can do

Is give her things to help her smile and get through

But through all the YouTube links and stupid little stories

Through all the compliments and kind words

I never see her getting better

Hell, I barely see her at all

I just want to hug her and tell her it's all okay

I want to hold her close as she cries herself to sleep

I want to comfort her after school and tell it's all going to be okay

But Georgia is a long ways away

So for now I'll make her smile as much as I can

Even if it's fake and the light has left her eyes

Because she's the beautiful girl I'll always know

Even if her story has a twist
