I'm just a girl,&

Location

 

I'm just a girl,

 

Caught up in this lonely hopeless world,

 

Trying to remember how to breathe,

 

When it feels like I'm drowning in the sea,

 

When I sleep I dream,

 

When I wake I scream,

 

Terrified of who we've all become,

 

We're fallen and numb,

 

Down on our knees,

 

Crying please;

 

For someone to remove the pain,

 

For someone to keep us sane,

 

We're all just people in this world,

 

And I'm just a lost and hopeless girl,

 

Different and alive inside,

 

Being normal is too hard; trust me I’ve tried,

 

Afraid of what people might say,

 

I hide behind my mask every day,

 

Leaving me alone and hopeless in this world,

 

Leaving me to be categorized as just a girl,

 

I dream of making a change in tomorrow,

 

But for now society drowns me in sorrow,

 

One day I will remove my mask,

 

And finish my ultimate task.
