A Mother's Blade

It's been ten years since I last made a slit
but every scar is still there on my wrist
then the day finally came when my daughter asked
how could i handle this terrible task?
of telling my baby girl
of mommy's past and secret world?
So I sat her down and tried to explain
how mommy used to inflict her own pain
and now I no longer have to hide with my beautiful daughter by my side
how could I have ever thought of suicide?
See back then I might have had no reason to live
when I couldn't see what God had to give
but now I have a reason to live

So this is my appeal to you today
that you wont give it all away
for someday the future might be alright
live for the future, it could hold a light
