Wreckage

Once upon a time
there was a girl
who had broken dreams
and nothing more

She looked out the window one day
then wished that she could be free
of all the pain in her broken heart
and be who she wanted to be

She watches the clouds go by
as the sky slowly turns gray
She closes her eyes and wishes
for things that would make her day...

A heart less scarred or a kiss
from someone she loved
If only she could see beyond
her world that was badly smudged

Less lies from the world
and friends who really saw
who she really was inside
and how she stood up tall

Fewer tears that streak her cheeks
each and every day
And people who will check on her
to see if she's okay

Someone who will hug her
until her tears are dry
A person who will understand
why she lives a lie
