Tears trickling from her eyes
She screams but no one hears her cries
While the others hide behind their lies
Inside she simply wants to die
In her room, the music is loud
She strips off her mask of being proud
Lost inside the apathetic crowd
Music's on but there is no sound
She lies there broken and sore
She can't take it anymore
In her crying heart she implores
t breaks her to her very core
She is lost, she won't be found
In the darkness there is no sound
No one will see her around
The Queen has lost her crown

Based on a short story I wrote about a popular girl who pretends to be happy all the time but at home her parents are always fighting and she can't take it anymore, so one day she runs away and ends up on the streets.
