Pain - Attention - Choice - Life
~Pain~
She has no role models
Her mind is filled with sorrows
Buries her pains in liquor bottles
Dreads the thought of her tomorrows…
~Attention~
She craves it like a junkie
Jumps in and out of bed with men
Like a wild monkey
Nothing more than their flunky…
~Choice~
She never had one
Taken before she could run
Understood by none
She went for the gun…
~Life~
She wanted it to end
Her bleeding heart would not mend
She prayed God’s mercy he would extend
As her suicide note she penned…
