Once
Once there was a girl that cried at night
Her daddy would hate and hit and fight
When she got older her mother remarried
And it felt as if a great weight had been carried
But she couldnt forget the scars in her mind
It may has well been a great big knife
She lived a lot better more love, and less hatred
But she still got mean words, and cruel, snarled up faces
People at school would suspect nothing less
Than a happy girl so fun, just the best
But she was so sensitive, and many things hurt her
They thought they were funny, they really werent though
The words that they threw, they did not really know
But they still used them, and if they were sorry it didnt show
So she went out, put on a show of great joy
Even though it was all really a coy
Later, after the show was all over
She went in a room and cried in a corner
Even her sister would say that she hates her
And never say sorry, just say it more later
Words are as bad as a knife in the leg
You should do neither, so think before you do or say
Whatever goes on in that mind that you hold
There is one great saying that you have been told,
Think before you act
