Behind The Curtain Slam Scholarship
The girl with the big smile
Who laughs and talks and is feeling great
"Hi! How are you? Sir, can I take your plate?"
Running until the end of the day
All day long with that smile on her face
All day long she is the walking image of grace
She will go home to her parents
Ready for her day to turn into night
But prepared for the long awaited fight
Dad is furious again
Today she didn't clean the dishes
Yesterday he told her her wishes were fake
Alone, she will go to her room
Alone, she will cry
Alone, she will grip that knife with that wish of goodbye
The next morning she will wake up and do it again
Nothing but her own will driving her
Going to work nine to five
Going home to another fight
Until the night comes she will hide behind her curtain
Until she leaves her home and her burdens
But she will fight until that night turns to dawn
