Because her thoughts were different

and she wouldn't bend

and she didn't want to be just like everyone

and do what everyone else had done

but the world refused to accomodate

and they looked at her with disgust

and hate

But she saw no point in doing what could not make her smile

that's why she was in pain for such a long while

and they told her they needed to be realistic

and when she spoke,

they wouldn't listen

To her, society was a dead end

and she didn't have a single friend

But she kept fighting to live life her own way

and it grew harder everyday

And, though she'd suffered so long, the level of pain was new

on the night she realized what she had to do

So she swallowed and fought not to break down

As she let them know she'd come around

Quietly killing her own free spirit

as she bent to their will and let them hear it

And she walked in the direction they pointed to

and what they told her,

she would do

So they congratulated her on being so smart

and never realized they'd forced her to break her own heart
