The Good Girl
The prodigy
But that's only
One side of she

The troubled side
The pained thoughts
All the battles
That she's fought

Schooltime, homework
Sports and chores
A+, all complete
Practices and more

The hurt and confusion
The scars, the tears
That have been hidden
Over all these years

Needs attention
Needs some care
Those are things
Already there

Needs to breathe
Just needs a hug
Needs someone
To show some love

Perfect role model
Perfectly together
But lost and lonely
Pretending whenever

Just torn between
Herself and the world
With two minds
And just one girl
