she stands center stage
if it were up to her
she would be hiding away
she waits for the voices to come her way
approval is what she craves
if she stands up tall
no one can see
the uncertainty behind her walls
there is a void she's trying to kill
she knows this isn't the right fill
she stands facing the crowd
trying to make everyone else proud
everyday a part of her fades
as she stands center stage
