A Reason

“ I just want to be gone away from this place Wish I could disappear without a trace. Maybe some sign or a reason to try Would give me a reason to not want to die. Something , anybody , no?…..ok, bye.” She wished she could be stronger Maybe last a bit longer Buy it’d take the strength of the earth To even make it worth it. Just another lost soul without anything left And if she could scream her pain you would all go deaf Spirit meant to be broken, soul not made to last Ceased to see the future, her mind controlled by past She started believing what she’s always been told End up a nothing , all alone growing old Don’t bother trying cause you’re stupid and crazy The things that were said and beaten in to her daily Everyone else undermining her pain Don’t talk about it, just causes more harm Spirit meant to be broken, soul not made to last Ceased to see the future, her mind controlled by past She wasn't always like this She used to have some hope Ran away to go prove That her life is not a joke Running away just as fast as she can But her dream of "A Reason" didn’t end up as planned Virginity and innocence all stripped away Shame and humility were all that would stay Spirit meant to be broken, soul not made to last Ceased to see the future, her mind controlled by past Now little girl can’t hold on any longer A smile on her face as she falls to demise She knows her rebirth emerges someone much stronger Someone more knowing and wise
