Did You Ever Think It Would Be Me? Did you ever think it would be That little girl with the tiny curls framing her face and the dimples The one who's eyes glowed Who would throw the ball at a stranger Ask their name And smile? That one day she would cry in her room for hours Unnoticed Feel so alone she wouldn't leave the house End friendships she'd had all of her #life Have a journal because she didn't think people would care? Did you ever think it would be That little girl in a ruffled dress and striped tights Who would make sure the little boy sitting alone was okay Didn't know how to say no Thinking she'd hurt someone's feelings Never lost a friend? That one day she would hide behind a smile Crumbling on the inside Keeping back her feelings Saying she's fine while she's screaming Quitting because she couldn't take it anymore Not crying in public because she's embarrassed? Did you ever think it would be The little girl who wore what she wanted Played outside with the boys Got dirty Laughed at her own jokes Didn't care how she looked Cut her own hair Thought she was beautiful Was excited to grow up? That one day she would give up Consider cutting Not eating Running away Hiding Distancing herself From everyone Suicide? Did you ever think that girl would be me? Me either
