Here's To the Girl...

Here's to girl who takes the pain...
Yet smiles through her tears.

Here's to the girl who stands alone...
To face-off all her fears.

Here's to the girl with a broken heart...
Who stitches it up and sighs.

Here's to the girl who's there for her friends...
When she herself wishes she could cry.

Here's to the girl who bites her lip...
And takes the insults and rejection.

Here's to the girl with torn-up wings...
Who uses them for the one she loves' protection.

Here's to girl who carries her friends' sadness...
Stacked high atop her own.

Here's to girl who sits at night...
Feeling so alone.

Here's to the girl who's tears are secrets...
Trickling down her cheeks.

Here's to the girl who acts so strong...
When she really feels so weak.

Here's to girl who lifts them up...
By pushing herself deeper still.

Here's to girl who'd take the blame...
But could never kill.

Here's to the girl who never gives up...
Despite the storm and rain...

Here's to the girl who lends a hand...
As she clings to the edge in pain.

Here's to the girl who's falling now...
As the rest reach the very top.

Here's to the girl who's giving up...
It's really time to stop.

The rest have made it because of her...
She smiles sadly as she falls through the clouds...

Careening into darkness...
Devouring her in its shrowds.

Her friends call out to her broken soul...
But she's finally gone.

Her friendly smile, her warm embrace...
Her pain-woven uplifting song.

Here's to the girl who's truly missed...
And loved by all that knew her.

If only we had seen her pain...
And stopped it before it consumed her.
