when she cries
britt nicole
she'd leave her room if only bruises would heal
a home is no place to hide
her heart is breaking from the pain that she feels
she fights to find her way
does anyone ever hear her when she cries?
today she's turning sixteen
but she can't seem to smile
they never get past arm's length
how could they act like everything is alright?
pulling down her long sleeves
to cover all the memories the scars leave
