The Broken Ones

Everyone is drawn to the broken girl.

After all, the broken ones love the most.

They are the kindest.

They would never be like those who hurt them.

Everyone is drawn to the girl who always smiles,

But they don't know that her smile is only to hide the pain.

They do not know that her smile does not mean happiness.

They do not know she isn't just like everyone else.

Everyone is drawn to the broken girl,

But when they see what is inside

They run away.

They have never been hurt this way;

They cannot understand.

They do not wish to.

They expect endless kindness and understanding

To come without a price.

They do not realize the reason they understand

Is that they have been through it all.

Everyone is drawn to the broken girl.

But only another broken soul will stay.
