Once there was a girl
Who couldn’t find
Herself in the shadows
Of her twisted mind.
She’d run all the time
Not caring where
She went to, as long
As she wasn’t there.
The darkness crept upon her
Making her stir and cry
Inside she knew
She was living a lie.
Could be she didn’t see
The light in the night,
Maybe it was hidden
Or not even bright.
But this girl gave up,
Quit and ended it all.
No one understood
How this girl could fall
And no one notice.
All she left behind,
The only clue to her demise
Was a sweetly written note
Destroying her diguise.
Dear world (it read)
Forgive me,
I am weak, I couldn’t stay
And couldn’t be
What I pretended all along.
I lived and it was a lie.
Inside I was hurting
But decieved your eyes.
Everything around me
Was strangling, choking,
Smothering me, I’d tell you
And you thought I was joking.
After all, how could
This perfect child, this child
Be what she wasn’t
With everything piled,
Upon her soul.
I’m sorry for what I say
And what I did
But there was no other way.
The darkness took me,
Kidnapped, but here
And now all you have
Is this letter stained with tears.
