"To be nobody- but- yourself in a world which is doing it's best, night and day, to make you everybody else, means to fight the hardest battle which any human being can fight; and never stop fighting."-ee cummings

She was the girl 

Who everyone knew

She was the girl 

Who everyone wanted to be

She was the girl 

Who put on a brave face

But inside she was dying

She was the girl 

Who the sun rose for 

And the moon shone for 

She was the girl 

Who shocked everyone 

When she put a bullet through her head
