Underneath

 

Underneath this darkened sky,

Lays a girl who is full of woe.

She takes a new step everyday,

But is never sure which way to go.

 

She cries at thoughts of death.

She wishes life could go on.

She treasures every breath.

Like the last.

 

She walks further into life,

Never knowing what could become.

For somebody’s words are as sharp as a knife.

And she doesn’t want to be hurt.

 

She’ll take her chances everyday.

She will be brave and strong.

She’s going to walk there all the way

And never take a step wrong.

 

When she finds the perfect time

To face the world alone.

She will prepare to make the climb.

To the top.
