using words
to dance around
avoiding problems
that don't want to be found.
the girl doesn't trust-
she doesn't know how
listen very carefully
if you want to know now.
we are not nice
we are not mean
althought sometimes
evil, it could seem.
there are some who would
rather see her in pain
burning the negative words
in her mind with nothing to gain
she won't believe
you have anything positive to say
she's never heard it
from another on any given day.
why do you even care
about this evil child?
she's mean and dirty
crazy and wild.
now back to the point
of who we are
look at all you've
learned so far.
we are none of those things,
built up in your head
yet we are all of
what we've said.
her mind has shattered
all over the floor,
she invited us in
and we shut the door.
we have to be tough
to get our way
she believes all
the nasty things we say.
striving for perfection
she wants her mother's love
slowly we push her on
while watching from above.
giving her that energy
to run harder and more
hiding her darkness
through the closed bedroom door.
