Broken

Days go by
And no one knows
Of the lost little girl
Inside my soul
Of the hatred that lurks
Behind hazel eyes
Of the long nights spend thinking
Of what it's like to die

Months go by
And no one can see
How the hatred has grown
And the fear consumes me
Of the cuts that are hidden
Beneath my long sleeves
Thin lines on my wrists
That appear as I grieve

Years go by
And still no one knows
Of the pain I endure
Of the blood that flows
No one will know
Until they find me
Broken on the floor
For all the world to see

The pain was too much
I couldn't go on
Living each day
And seeing the dawn
I knew I could do it
To grab the kitchen knife
Lay it across my wrists
To end the torture and strife

Just watching my blood
Cascade to the floor
The redemption I felt
As I opened the door
To a world of peace
Where no harm is found
As I felt myself fading
As I fell to the ground

Electric currents
Run through my veins
As I'm finally feeling
A little bit sane
The hatred ends here
The soul-crushing pain
As I finally let go
And my tears fall like rain

It’s soon to be over
My breath is now rasp
As I cut my throat
I gurgle and gasp
Blood pooling beneath me
My own Red Sea
As my body dies
My soul is set free
