Tears in her eyes
Heart shattered in a million little pieces
Folks looking at the outside in
Sees only a big smile and a grin
Long pigtails and a outrageous laugh
No longer laughing with tears in her eyes
She battles courageously just to make it through
another day-- sometimes praying it will all
just go away
A little girls dreams
of joy and happiness gone with the
reality of life’s crude awakening
What will become of this little girl with big dreams
Will she ever find happiness again?
When she looks in the mirror at her reflection
It shows the scars and tracks of her tears
In the morning she’ll do it all over again
Paste a smile and hope no one notices
A little girl with big dreams with tears in her eyes
threatening to spill over from behind the façade of a smile
