A Girl Grow Up Too Fast

The sun shines through
even the darkest of weather

Everything seems like it will last forever.
What such an exciting endeavour?
The days seem so great
Is this really it,
or will it end in our fate
Is the happiness just a brief kiss?
Here for one moment then consumed by hate.
Here for the next moment
that beautiful state
Then it will all be amiss
For it had gone
all that beautiful bliss.

Where did it go?
It will be buried and will never again show
There once was a little girl
who grew up too fast
There was a shadow
over her life that was cast.
For she had witnessed a bad fight

It took her innocence
and gave her quite a fright.
For now there's a girl
who lost her way
And couldn’t find anyone to play.

She lost her cheerful smile
And it remained gone for a very long while
Where did it go?
It will be buried
and will never again show

She was feeling weak
For it was looking bleak.
She felt so alone
Like a pebble floating
through water
Like it was just thrown
Ready for its slaughter

She looked up frowning
But saw nothing but drowning
She continued to grow
But she would never let her emotions out to show

Her teen years
continued to be hard
She always kept up her guard
She buried her unhappy feeling
And it only went out of control wheeling
She didn’t know
how to control it
Not even
just the smallest of bit

She just couldn’t cope
She was starting to lose her hope
Her heart was filled with pain
And yet she had nothing to gain.
Her lungs felt tight
But her body continued to fight.
What if she cut her wrist?
Would it feel like she’d exist?

So she tried something bad
But even just that small cut
made her a little bit glad
She knew it was wrong
But it made her feel
so much more strong
But it continued
to leave so many scars
And she was hidden
behind those dark bars
She was heading down
a damaging path
And it’s all spinning by her fast

She was broken
But I guess
we all have those words
that can't be spoken

Who could she tell?
Where could she yell?
But she guessed
her only option was to continue living on in her cell
She will have to hide
behind her inner wall
Would she ever give that call?
She grabbed on
Before she was gone
She grabbed hold of that earth
For all its worth
She must never let go
It must be so
For people must never know
Maybe one day
she won't have
to continue on with this con

For one day,
it will all be gone
