I lay here
Sprawled across the Pavement
I reminisce with photos my brain created
A troubled teen comes out of the dark
Pain,anger, frustration, depression
Racking her every thought
Weeping crimson droplets
As shards of glass pierce through her flesh
She lets her mind slip to the unknown
But she awakens with every gash
She can't help but ask "why?"
Why didn't i break the cycle?
Why didn't i ask for help?
Then the family comes into the light
Shes on the outside peering in
As her drunken dad passes out on the couch
And her mom stands in the kitchen making dinner
They exist ignorant
To the life dying in the corner
self-doubt and pity
Screaming at her everyday
The voices are too much to handle
However, I think they know
They just ignore
After all, their perfect little girl
Why would she bleed and wish for no more?
That's what brought me here today
The pain i just can't take it
Today i see bliss up ahead
My mind dangles over the edge
Should i take that final plunge?
End my life in one quick jump?
Right now i see no alternatives
So i lay here
Sprawled across the pavement
