Her Nightmare

thatsilentgirl

 Lay down on your pillow, 

And close your eyes,

Fall Into a deep sleep, 

But you don't realize,

That she lays awake,

Every night,

Just starring up at the ceiling,

For nothing is right, 

She's only been here sixteen years, 

But It feels more like six hundred, 

Which Is probably how many tears, 

She's been crying,

She can't fall asleep,

Because she's already dreaming, 

And she's in too deep, 

To get out again, 

She will never know what Its like to be normal, 

She will never get to have friends, 

She will never go to prom, 

Or see her sadness end.

She's dreaming, 

But awake,

And her smile,

Is a fake,

She envys you so much,

You have It all, 

Your life Is too perfect, 

And she's about to fall, 

Deeper Into this dream, 

And she won't come back,

So don't mess with her now, 

She's ready to attack, 

But she keeps smiling through it all, 

Like there's not a care in the world, 

Carrying all of her pain, 

She's a strong girl, 

She doesn't look like she's in pain, 

You would think that her heart has not one tear,

But little would you realize,

That she's in an unending nightmare.
