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 it 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 arm 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

As she laughs when they tell her

'Who's 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 arm 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 that you find it rare

To see her smile or laugh

Her friends tell her jokes

Like that 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 arm 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 up

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..?’
