A big bright smile is all they can see
But that’s not all it is to me
Under that smile I wear a frown
And that’s because I’m feeling down
I have to hide these true emotions of mine
So if anyone asks, I’m feeling fine
I can’t let them see how weak I am now
That’s just something I cannot allow
On the outside I show to be lively and happy
But on the inside I know I feel lonely and crappy
They bruised my confidence and hurt my heart
After beating me down, they tore me apart
I never knew they’d be like this the first day we met
But now those memories are ones I will never forget
I can’t let them see how or what they truly did to me
I’ll keep my head high and show them how strong I can be
I’ll use their hate as motivation later down the road
It looks like I’ll be fighting back, but secretly in code
Girls like them can look really nice and kind at first
But after they’ve sunk their teeth in, they’ve already quenched their thirst
They’ll sip the blood out of you, hoping to drink you dead
But don’t let them stop or kill you; get up to fight instead
Yes, I fought, keeping this smile on my face
While life goes on, I’m starting to win the race
I let these girls know I am independent and strong
I don’t have to write a story, or an essay that’s long
You’ve probably inferred that this is a true tale
The hearts of these girls are now growing stale
And now I wear a smile of truth on my face
This test of true friendship is one I can ace
