As the hurt and pain builds,
The bomb ticks away,
The emotions inside get stronger each day.
Her dad plays the field,
Her home's gonna break,
Her life is a mess,
Her smile is a fake.

The laugh is put on,
The tears swell inside,
but all of her feelings, she tries hard to hide.
Her arms are bruised,
Her mind is confused<
What's she got to win? What can she lose?

Friends are her life,
They give her, her hope,
To see them be happy, helps her to cope.
Her past is a wreck,
Her present a maze,
The crap in her life leaves her in a daze.

The rumours keep spreading,
The lies known throughout,
Abuse gets hurled as she walks about.
Strangers yell as she goes down the road,
As she runs away, her tears start to flow.

Everyting she sees, makes her feel sad,
The depression she's stuck in, is driving her mad.
Her friends talk of love, guys and first kiss,
But after her past she'll give that a miss.
Dumped for her looks, attacked as a kid,
Seeing him again makes her think what he did.

To look at you'd think,
"Happy, average teen"
But then look again at what you've just seen.
Thin and pale, smiling but hurt,
Didn't ask for this, but is still treated as dirt.
Maybe one day happiness will come,
But until that day her life will be numb.
