My throat adorned with pearls;
Scars hidden by a black silk dress
And hair straightened out
Picture me, a drama queen,
A new act everyday;
I make mountains out of mole hills
When things don’t go my way
Picture me, a softball star,
Three strikes, that’s it, you’re done
Being know as “one of the boys”
Pretending to have fun
Picture me, a little girl
Abused for much too long
Hidden by this mask I wear,
Pretending to be strong
Picture me, however you wish
Pretend you know me well
Just don’t judge me til’ you know
The truth about my hell.
