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
