A Girl

Through all the trophies

I see a young girl

That's lonely and out of place

A girl that has parents wanting her to be

To be someone that she's not.

I see that she's suicidal

May be she needs someone

Someone to tell her things

Things she needs to hear.

Someone to believe in her

Believe that she can be anything

Anything that she can put her mind to.

Someone to listen

Listen to all she has to say.

Someone that has a shoulder

A shoulder for her to cry on.

Someone just to be there

Whenever, wherever.

Author's Notes/Comments: 

this "girl" represents me in a way. my parents wanted me to be this all time striaght-a student, but of course i wasn't. i just wanted someone there to hold me and tell me that everything would be alright.  written 12-22-2002
