Finally - Rid of You

Another day walking in fear Another day of hiding inside Why me? Cowering down all the time No where to turn; he’s always there They can’t help me I tip the bottle over, the little pills spill out plop, plop, plop Down into the water Shaking…. I frantically stir, hoping they dissolve Soon - all of my problems will be resolved Down the hatch trying not to gag Helping myself finally rid of you Blurry images coming through……my mom crying by my side? No! no! I wanted to die. Tubes in my nose and down my throat They just don’t know what I’ve been going through Why oh why couldn’t they just Let me be………… The man in the white coat softly ask “why would a pretty young girl like you want to turn yourself off?” REALLY! Why oh why couldn’t they just Let me be
