If only she knew
Life knocks on her door, but danger awaits.
The girl is afraid, of whats held in her fate.
Theres someone there, waiting for her to come.
She doesnt know what will happen, or where it came from.
Is her life over, has it came to an end?
Somethings forbidden, she cant see her best friend.
What ever it is, wont go away.
It seems to be whispering, softly her name.
The banging is getting louder, her heart is pounding.
She cant seem to keep herself, from not smiling but frowning.
Her life is filled with gloom, for shes trapped in a cage.
Violence runs through her mind, as she seethes with outrage.
