Behind her bright eyes was a mind full of fear
She hid that pain well, barely ever shed a tear
Her smile hid a heart full of hurt but she still had a laugh like no one else
She cared for everyone in the world, everyone except for herself
She took the wrong road, that speed limit growing faster
The progression was excessive, she was a beautiful disaster
That smile would fade and that laugh would disappear
Her mind growing foggy and her thoughts now unclear
Her conscience being drained, and her sense of belonging was gone
Impulsive and unable to differentiate the right from the wrong
Being stripped of who she is, that beauty turning into a beast
Her innocence transformed and a monster would unleash
Unrecognizable from the woman that she once used to be
She needed a glimpse of hope to realize that she had to dig deep
And reach into her soul and find within herself that little girl
The one that would once smile in public and it would light up the world
To teach her that she doesn’t need to be scared, give her the strength she never had
Tell her that she can remain pure in a world that is brimming with bad
To let her know that it doesn’t matter who she became, only who she becomes now
She can turn that beast back to beauty, if she would let some faith in and allow
Allow positivity in and surround herself with like-mind others
That have the same goals as her, that way she no longer suffers
With an everyday obsession to rid herself of her truth
To stuff the pain and hurt that she keeps bottled in from her youth
To grow and let go of those that keep holding her back
That keep dragging her down and blocking her light so it’s black
Darkness is debilitating and it keeps her from leaping toward
Her dreams, and It hurts her, but their stagnant and she has got to flow forward
Cuz if she doesn’t heal what hurt her, she will bleed on those those that didn’t cut her
Trapped in a cocoon, blocking metamorphosis from happening so her wings cannot flutter
And that will fill her up with shame and remorse and strip her of her happy ever after
And her beautiful success story would end, once again, a beautiful disaster
