I must just try.

I am just a lost girl,
can't seem to get a grip,
going down a never ending spiral,
hoping i wont slip.

Walking around the halls,
with this perfect mask i wear,
always hiding my secrets,
pretending i don't care.

The truth is i do care,
i just don't let you know,
its easier for me to keep it in,
then to give you all a show.

I don't let my emotions out,
because people just don't care,
it's not like i expect them to,
my life is pretty bare.

I realize it wont get better,
if i don't give it a shot,
better to know you cant have it,
then to not know it at all.

So I'm going to ask the boy out,
I'm going to get my good grades,
at least i gave it a shot,
so this feeling might just fade.

I'm not going to linger with depression,
if i do this feeling won't subside.
I refuse to use the blade anymore,
I refuse I must just try.

Please, please comment and vote I want to know what you think.
