And She Still Fights...

This is a story
Of a simple young girl
Who fought an endless battle for years
Never knowing she long ago lost the war

It started with simple things
Being criticized by her family and friends
And moved onto school years and drama
She started spiraling out of control

She started forcing her smiles with agony
But she kept trying to make everyone happy
The last thing she wanted was someone else feeling like her
So she kept fighting

And now tonight she writes her story
And tells her friends she’s fine
But tonight is when she stops fighting
And she writes and she waits

She fights the battles as they come
And she smiles through the haze
But in her heart she knows
Her only peace is when she’s dead.
