    I look into the glass
    and who do I see
    I see a little girl
    With an icy look
    And a torn old book
    And I realize that little girl
    is me

    Left alone
    In an adults world
    Never knowing a clue
    Forced to grow up
    With my life disrupted
    I could only wish to be set free

    Here I am
    Looking between the lines
    I look back on those times
    And wish someone had noticed me
    In my little corner I sat
    Hoping my pain would go away
    And I wanted to be who I wanted to be

    My cheerful childhood
    Was nothing of the sort
    I suffered in agony
    I would close my eyes
    And forget about the hurt

    If only I could
    Be stronger than I was
    Then maybe I wouldn't see
    A scared little girl
    With an icy look
    Holding a torn old book
    Staring back at me
