She Manages A Smile

A girl was born on December 23, 2000

to a couple of parents named Samantha and Ryan

they named her Madison Noel

Grandma told her 'go to hell'

but somehow the girl manages a smile

The girl grows up, goes to class

beats a kid up of touching her a*s

does half her homework

trying to make it all work

but somehow she manages a smile

"You anorexic c**t, go chug some bleach."

She'll admit, this made her feel so weak

but it was true, the girl stopped eating right

and this was not to her parents' delight

but somehow she manages a smile

She's sitting on the ground

tears and mascara running down her face

a boy told her that he loved her, but he lied. 

Everything swirls in a murky haze. 

But somehow, she manages a smile. 

She's a masochist, a sad little girl

who's waiting for all of her secrets to unfurl.

She's been kicked to the ground, 

been up and been down. 

She's been lied to, 

beat up, 

lost all of her remaining trust. 

But somehow, she manages a smile.

Author's Note

Gotta look at the bright side of things.

A story of brilliant hope for the future, a tale of undying strength, THE STORY OF THE CENTURY. You should write an autobiography. It would be cool, I think people would read it... :P

I did once. It got rejected by everyone and everyone hated it because it was "innapropriate for the website" :P
