That Girl is Me

She cries to herself at night
all alone so no one sees
she goes to school the next morning
and pretends that she's happy

she doesn't normally sleep at night
she doesn't trust herself alone
she wants to leave this world
even though nobody knows

she has secrets that she won't tell
about her past and present
even if she told you her secrets
you just wouldn't get it

she writes all of these poems
she said they keep her alive
her poems help her get out
what she feels inside

now you know about her
she needs help can't you see
you ask me how I know this
I say because that girl is me
