She was so smart
She seemed so fine
She knew it all
And she knew it right
She was climbing the ladder
Oh! So fast
She was flying high
She wanted to reach the sky
Then what went wrong
What burnt her out
She ran too fast
She didn’t slow down
She gave it all
Seemed she had it all
But no one knew
What all she blew
The sparkling cover
She showed was a lie
Behind that smile
Was a girl who cried
They wanted it all
So she couldn’t fall
She had to give
For them to live
For her needs
She cared least
It was them
She wanted to please
But no matter what
They never got
Her sacrifice
Could never suffice.
It faded her sparkle
It burt her out
The game was over
Finally, no doubt!
