There was a girl
Vibrant and laughing
She was always bouncy
Kind and sweet and happy
There was a girl
Pressured to grow up
So she grew up before her time
And I guess it kind of sucked
There was a girl
Who cried in her bed
She was sort of weird
She really had no friends
There was a girl
Who took a blade to her skin
And started skipping meals
Just to be thin
There was a girl
All skin and bones
Just wanted someone who loved her
Someone to call her own
There was a girl
Bleeding in her room
Wanting to feel something
Other than dread and gloom
There was a girl
Before the world interviened
Corrupted her
Gave her the need to feel clean
If she were still around
I would hold her near
And tell her that anyone
Would be lucky to call her "dear"
