As young as I was
I never thought this to be who I was,
This life I lived
Was none that one would choose
Away from mother, away from father
Tossed into a home with strangers
What is this you speak of-I didn't ask for this.
School was a drag,
My mind wandered--
How do I leave this wretched life
Push it behind and move forward?
Married young, was noticed by man,
A man that changed my life.
He thought I was beautiful, and so did many others
My pictures in the flimsy books
That people read.
Movies began, my life started over
Stardom was ahead
I followed behind
Until one day, I'd had enough
My problems festered and I
Pushed them further in
Until one day I lost it, and that day was my last.

No more happy ending,
Movies, or song
No more pictures, no more hatred
No more bottles of emotions,
My life wasn't great, but it was getting better
Although the pain of the past
Crept up on me, I tried to push it aside
But I failed me.
