and she was gone

 

i used to know dinosaurs and 

princesses 

i used to know smiles and 

laughter

 

i used to know where i was

safe

i used to know where mommy

was

 

now i know fantasy versus 

reality 

now i know pain and 

hurt 

 

now i know that i am

worthless 

now i know why mommies

leave 

 

i'm a big girl 

now

and a big girl

doesn't cry 

a big girl

grows up
