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
