when i grow old
many stories will be told
to my children's children
but the truths will be hidden
they will be about a girl
who didnt know her place in the world
terrified of life
words spoken to her cut like knives
but she kept on a smile
and decided to stay for a while
in a way music and writing were heros
when her grades became zeros
it made her work harder
so maybe she can go farther
then when they get older they will see
and eventually they'll
she is me
