Mistake

carve a tick mark for each thing she's done wrong,
carve a tick mark for each sin she has caused.

Invisible as a ghost,
Unnoticed as a fly.
Will no one catch my fall,
Will no one hear my silent cry?


one for being ugly,
one for being fat.


Hate breeds deeper and deeper,
As the soul begins to disappear.
The darkness overpowers all that is numb,
And the pain is still right here.


one for getting lost,
for forgetting where she's at.


I've been standing here for a while,
And though the door is right in front of me,
It's finally sunk in through this thick skull.
There's no escape, no chance to be happy.


one for each time she's hurt herself,
one for each time she's hurt someone else.


Fruitlessly trying to make a difference,
What happens when you realize things will never change?
I've learned the hard way to give up before I try
Because things will always be the same.


one for every failure, one for causing hate,
and the last one that finishes the job
is the one for being such a mistake.
