Shadow Girl
———————————
Nobody sees the real me
They only see the girl I pretend to be
The one who is thoughtful and kind
Always wary to speak her mind
The one who is smart and strong
Certainly knows how to get along
She out-shadows the real me
I put up a façade
Of the person I wish to be
This Shadow Girl
Shadows the whole world
She protects the real me
I am just the girl on the inside
The one who is quiet and easily broken
Wishing to be innocent and outspoken
Always angry
Always sad
Never knowing just what she had
I am just the girl on the inside
This Shadow Girl
Shadows the whole world
And yet
The one who is broken and scared
Can never be compared
To that of the Shadow Girl
For the real me must hide
Deep inside
Never showing all of the fear or uncertainty
That is masked beneath the pretty face of the Shadow Girl
For this Shadow Girl
Shadows the whole world
And I am just the girl on the inside
