How could you know <br />That behind my eyes a sad girl cried <br />And how could you know <br />That I hurt so much inside <br />And how could you know <br />That I’m not the average girl <br />I'm carrying the weight of the world <br />So can you get me outta here <br />Take me away <br />We'll jump in the car <br />Drive till the gas runs out and then walk so far <br />That we can't <br />See this place anymore <br />Take a day off <br />Give it a rest <br />So I can forget about this mess <br />If I lighten up a little bit, <br />Then I will be <br />Over It <br />I'm playin the role <br />Of the happy girl <br />But no one knows <br />Inside I’m alone <br />But I would never let it show <br />I get everyday <br />Too much work and not enough play <br />Over and over <br />It's always the same <br />Can I get rid of this shame <br /> <br /> <br />For Millie<br /><br />Payyton Egerstaffer<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/how-could-you-know-2/
