Behind the make-up and the fake smile
There lies a broken heart
Held by a girl who is just trying to continue on
Being told what others believe about her
But never feeling it about herself
Giving into pressure because that may be all she knows
Knowing what she wants but settling for less
Not because it’s what she believes she deserves
But because she believes that’s all there is
Banning the real her to a corner
Not wanting to risk anything by revealing herself
But if she opened her eyes she would realize
There are others just like her believing the same things she believes
