A girl in my class

[fadingaways]

There is this girl in my class
who tries to hide her past
She sits all alone
her head bowed low
So no one will see
the tears slipping
from her sad, hazel eyes

She has no friends
But she doesn't see to care
She wishes it would end
because the pain is too much to bare

She won't say a word
about her awful past
Nobod knows
that her father use to beat her
He'd come home drunk
hit her again and again
She doesn't tell a soul
so no one will ever know

She doesn't tell people
that she once was raped
her innocence taken away in a blur
She refuses to talk
talk about her horrible past.

She doesn't tell anyone that
she still cuts
She figures no on will care
The pain is too much to bear

She thinks nobody cares
because no one dares
to help her
She bleeds to numb the pain

There is this girl in my class
who tries to hide her past
She sits all alone
Her had bowed low
so no one will see...
The girl is me
