I'm a girl writing of my pain
I'm a person living a life of shame
I'm your daughter hiding my depression
I'm your sister making a good impression
I'm your friend acting like I’m fine
I'm a wisher wishing this life weren't mine
I'm a girl who thinks of suicide I'm a teenager pushing her tears aside
I'm a student who doesn't have a clue I'm the girl sitting next to you
I'm the one asking you to care I'm your best friend hoping you'll be there
