I was that girl
Who gave good advice
And helped you along
When you suffered in life

I was that girl
That smiled every day
When things seemed impossible
She'd show you the way

I was that girl
A friend to you all
Who never betrayed
And gave a hand when you'd fall

I was that girl
Who picked everyone up
And made each one of you laugh
When life dealt bad luck

I was that girl
That had no reason to cry
Never once felt pain
Or wanted to die

I was that girl
A mystery in truth
Like a god sent angel
Who stood beside you

I was that girl
Who hid all her pain
And kept on smiling
As she went insane

I was that girl
That never shed tears
Though she was ignored
Through out all her years

I was that girl
A lost soul without hope
To help you along
When she couldn't cope

I was that girl
Who you thought you all knew
Until the pain was too much
And the facade was through

I was that girl
That life pushed around
And held you all up
As she hit the ground

I was that girl
A hollow lie, empty shell
Leading you to paradise
As she was beaten in Hell

Halo, This is fantastic. It's driven to the point, and is so sad. I know exactly how you feel, I'm most definitely that girl. Great from beginning to end. THANKS!<3

When I'm good, I'm very good. But when I'm bad I'm better.

Hey pride,

Interesting poem, I liked it

The only thing I kind of so-so on was the ending, it seems to lose the flow there or something, not quite sure, I must read that part again...

The other stanzas I loved! Especially the one about the facade; it's just an interesting poem when you look at it. "You" sound like the perfect person at first but than *poof!~* your not.

Enjoyable read, thanks for sharing!

i can feel those emotions. it was written very well the ending kinda seemed off though. sounds like everythings is fine at the beginniing then we know the truth. i know how that feels totally last year at the beginning i was like that i had a really hard time trusting but i was supporting my friends always but now im not like that as much, i still support my friends but i dont hide my pains and such as much

nice work Pride

sorry i cant conform and say that i also relate, because i cant, but.......i really envy the clarity of hurt your piece inspires.

the formallity you put into your words really expressed a clear image in my head almost as if it was a perjection instead of words.

it was long so that helped too

WOW, as i read this poem i kind of had expectations of how it would end and even though i had the feeling the end still blew me away completely. I have reread this dozens of times over and over, its wonderful.
