Cheater

She cheated death
for another choice
she played it again
for a stronger voice

Haunted by sickness
that drove her insane
plagued by loss of control
and taunted with shame

it picked at her brain
it ate at her heart
it began the problems
that could only start

She cheated death
for another choice
she played it again
for a stronger voice

not once, but twice did this little girl survive
the scarletina and the swell
her heart ripped open, but the beat stayed strong
it would take a miracle to make this girl well

she'd stumble and tumble
and get back up again
the recurrance couldn't stop her
not now and not then

over and over with her four leafed clover
she dances in danger's way
but cry not, dear reader
becasue she wont die today

She cheated death
for another choice
she played it again
for a stronger voice

three diseases at once, again and again
she wont go, not this way
its not her time
no, she wotn die today
