She was 14 years old the summer she started getting ill
Her mother tried to help her
Her grandparents did too
Her doctor tried to help her
But there was nothing they could do
She was a typical child
Went to school everyday
She was always calm, never wild
She was typical but she wasn't okay
When she was 9 her father beat her
He beat her until she bled
He would always hurt her
And wish that she was dead
At the age of 12 she started going to a shrink
She had a lot of problems and she couldn't think
Her father used to abuse her
The mental scars they could not cure
Her mother tried to love her each and everyday
She would try to show each and every way
Her daughter was her life
Her air,her wind,her rain
She couldn't stand to see her daughter go through so much pain
The summer that she turned 14 she started acting very strange
Her grades,her attitude,her spirit all seemed to change
She hung out with the wrong kids and said she hated her life
Her mother caught her once cutting herself with a knife
Her mother tried to stop her
She gave all her will
Nobody could help her
Nobody had a cure
One night she could not take anymore
She said I'm giving up my life
She took a knife and started to cut, how the blood did pour
She took some pills and then took some more
She wrote her mother a letter
She got a rope and put it around her neck and said
I CANT DO THIS ANYMORE!
She took one step off that ladder
Her life flashed before her eyes
She didn't seem any sadder
Because she took her life
Her mother found her that next day
She was in shock, she didn't know what to say
She was mad thinking this was her own fault
Thinking she could of done more
Her funeral was the saddest thing her mother has been through
She didn't know what to say or do
People kept crying and her mother was dying
If it wasn't for her father she would be her smiling
It's been a few years now and things have changed
Her mother is all alone
But whenever she cries she feels warm inside
She feels her daughter's spirit inside her
Warming her and telling her not to hurt
She knew her daughter loved her
But she missed her, there was nothing she could do
Years have passed
Summers have turned cold
The mother was turning very old
She was in bed and she knew this was her last
She closed her eyes and saw a light
And followed it home
She saw her daughter waiting
Sitting, looking beautiful as ever
Her daughter said welcome home mom we will be together now forever
