In her eyes,
all the world was gray,
the mirrors tortured her,
from day to dreary day,
screaming at her,
just to go away,
and the pain shone in her eyes,
the words she never had to say.
Fourteen years on this dark little planet,
where all she found was pain,
the bruises and the beatings,
overtaking her again,
bruises go away,
and the cuts, well they may heal,
but that could never sew up the tears,
on the heart she let them steal.
She always was too kind,
so innocent and sweet,
and she tried to live up,
to expectations she should meet,
but the end result was always epic fail,
they tore her to shreds,
about every little detail,
they hit her and they hurt her,
she took the beatings and the blame,
she grew up to believe,
that to her family, she was a shame.
Two years later,
with a bottle and a knife,
this little girl decides,
that she wants to end her life,
she pressed the blade to her skin,
took a swig,
and carved right in,
smiling all the whole way through,
she was almost freed from all the pain she knew,
she carved and carved,
cut and tore,
poor baby couldnt take anymore,
so she did what she thought best,
she plunged the knife,
down into her chest,
poor little girl could never see,
the woman she grew up to be,
she was so pretty, she was just fine,
but she couldnt see it,
through her own eyes.
