Flowers By Her Graveside
Flowers by her graveside because she wasn’t strong enough to stay and fight
She was always either fight or flight but when the fighting became too much and the madness added up in her head it all started to combust
Maybe she needed someone to be a friend instead all she got were dead ends
Suicide on her mind will this ever end
Demons screaming let me in
And she finally let them win
The devastating part is she left behind her legacy
Two kids that didn’t know what had happened
Maybe she was selfish for ending her life but nobody ever asked if she was alright
So when she took her life everyone wondered why because to them she looked just fine
Now only she could say what she was going through
But nobody ever let her get the chance to tell her side
Now all everyone is saying she was a selfish ass mother that ended her life that she could’ve stayed and fought
But what they don’t know was the fight was her cage
The voices in her head were her chains
She was literally locked and stuck inside her brain and it made her feel insane
When she ended it all went away
Everyone’s sitting there at her graveside now putting flowers on her coffin
Saying You’ll be missed and I’m so sorry
But if they really cared they would’ve seen that she struggled before it got so bad they would’ve reached out
She was verbally abused almost every single day but she carried all of it deep down inside
Nobody got to see the tears she cried
She was already dead
Flowers by her graveside because she was no longer strong enough to stay a fight
