Fifteen years

Fifteen years

And a fistful of tears

Make a sad little girl

In her own little world.

She prays, not to God,

But to her mind

For pain to find her

In her everyday life

Save her using the knife.

And she can't think of a reason to die

But each season her brain

Commits treason by saying

"Kill me"

And her blood screams

"Spill me"

And hands yell

"Fear me"

And her ears can't hear me as

I say to calm down

She breaks down

In her small town

Where she's all alone;

Family's at home but they're not really there.

She's scared for herself

Scared for her health.

She swallows, feeling hollow

When the mental gallows come

And her mind thinks it's won

And she's sick of this

And her hands slit her wrists

And her eyes turn cold

But its all for the best

Cause deep down inside her

Nothing's left.
