When you look into the crowd

She won’t stand out

She’ll be in the background

Watching, observing, learning no doubt

She doesn’t post pictures on Facebook or Instagram

Still people see her through a lens

The filter of the shy, quiet, smart girl

She’s someone who just, blends

She doesn’t talk to many people

She’s never drank or been high

Hell, she’s never even been kissed

She must be a perfect angel right?

Her life is perfect;

She has parents who are still together

A loving family life

What could she need that’s better?

But did you know this girl,

 Her dad lives on the other side of the world

He’s in the Air Force,

 She feels she’s in a dream-world

Did you know this girl?

While quiet, shy, and tame

Plays a pretty violent sport,

She has a not-so-nice name

Did you know this girl?

 Is really insecure

She scared of the dark and being alone

And you think she’s so pure

Did you know this girl?

Has a bigger story to tell

One of joy and strength and sadness

One she’s not willing to sell

Did you know this girl?

Probably not

You looked at other, more interesting people

But she is not what you thought
