Pause.

Why

I am reminded of why:

I was a girl

on a cliff,

I was a girl

my rocks long gone,

I was a girl

they fell around me,

I was a girl

holding one glass bead,

I was a girl

with only one dream,

I was a girl

who never thought it so,

I was a girl

just a child thrown into space,

I was just a girl

the day I tried too,

I was a girl

dreams far from reach,

I was a girl

now a teen,

I was a girl

I never thought I would live past 12,

I was a girl

now I'm 15,

I was a girl

on a cliff,

Now I am a young adult

on a bridge.
