                          I could tell you that I have a 
                                Sister I don't talk to 
                                         Ever!
                           Also that I live in a dark red
                              House with cream trim.
                           I could tell you that my life is
                             Fine and I'm happy, but
                                       I'm not.
       In my life, I'm lost like a little puppy that has lost its mother.
                    I don't know where to go, and what to
                             Do or even say anymore.
                                I live life day to day,
                                   Hour by hour,
                      Just guessing where to go next, like
                      A game and every move I make will
                             Make me lose the game,
                          I could say I have a boyfriend
                        Who would give the world to me,
                            But then I would be a liar.
                                I could tell you that
                I trust my friends, or any one for that matter,
                                     But I don't.
                           I could tell you sweet things,
                              But they would be lies.
