Scared SoulPeople say she never cries
They say,
She's weird
That she's too quiet
People say she doesn't care
She's a snob
That she's cold.
If they knew her as I do
They wouldn't say that
People never see her cry
Because she cries inside
She's quiet
Because she's quite shy
If they had lived life as she has
They'd be a little leary too
She's too sensitive
To let people see she's hurting
They might laugh at her
Tell her she's being a Fool
She won't voice her feelings,
Her opinions
She's afraid of rejection
She can't go on like this forever
She'll die
Just because she was afraid
To be herself
