As she stares in the mirror

Longing for what she can't see

The voices in her head saying

That's something you'll never be

She wants to be someone else

"Anyone but me"

She hates what she sees

Looking back at her everyday

She just doesn't get why

Nothing feels okay

She's hurting inside

She feels as if the world is crumbling before her

And she's taking her last breath

She fights back the tears

That are eager to roll down her cheek

Trying to hide her feelings

So the world won't see

See the lonely girl

With her head between her knees

Trying to hide from herself

And what she doesn't want to be

She wants to be more

Than the misfit girl

With her heart torn

And feeling broken inside

She walks the halls alone

Avoiding all the glances

From those who think she's a freak

Even though she knows they're wrong

And she's just unique

That's what she tells herself

When she's crying herself to sleep

She wants to fit in

And be like everyone else

Just so that she will be liked

To feel accepted

By everyone around her

She just doesn't understand

Why everyone dislikes her

She sits in her room and cries

Almost suffocating on her tears

She feels happy to see blood streak down her arm

As she pushes cool metal to her skin

Just to feel better

That's all she feels she can do

To take away the pain inside that she feels

And wash away the loneliness

Hopefully one day she will feel

Feel more than numbness and pain

More then the warmth of blood spilling down her arm

But until then she'll be that lonely girl

That wants to be like everyone else
