Finished Up Her Crime

She gets scared when she hears it.
she runs into her room.
cries herself to sleep.
when the noise comes.

she's only 9 years old.
she just couldn't take it.
one night when the noise came.
when it started.

she ran into her room.
she had a razor.
that she saw her mommy use.
so she cut her legs up.

the blood dripping down.
she didn't care.
she wanted to noise to go away.
she didn't want it to stay.

her sister starts to cry.
like she's dieing.
she wants to get out of there.
she's sick of the noise.

so she cuts herself up.
over and over.
she couldn't stop.
she sung a lullaby while she finished up her crime.
