Once was a girl who would dance and twirl,
Never to have a care in the world.

Then things began to twist,
And people started using their fist.

She had been kicked and hit,
So many times in to many fits.

She became hard and sharp as a shard,
She became lost as the cost.

I am her and she is me,
But she's so far gone she'll never be free.
