Free

The voices grow louder,
Screaming and yelling.
She wants out of it.
She just wants to go away.
They don't understand her,
and she can't take it anymore.
She can't hurt anyone,
So she's got no other choice.
Sitting alone in the dark,
She brings out her best friend
the only one that will listen.As the knife sheds her blood
Her face becomes hot with tears,
She lies her head down
and begins to slip away.
She prays her last prayer,
and breathes her last breath.
Just like that she's gone.
She's free.
