Thoughts of a Young, Troubled Girl

With her heart full of pain
and her knees getting weak,
she started to whimper
and fall asleep.
She cried for hours
and lay there suffering.
She couldn't focus anymore,
for she was slowly dying.
Wilting away with nothing more 
than insanity.
She passed out after a long 
night of wondering.
"I truly am sorry for everything 
I did.
I didn't mean to hurt them.
I just wanted them dead.
I don't know why and I don't 
know how,
but all I know is they're all 
gone now."
That was her last thought 
before drifting away.
Now she's at peace and going 
home to stay.
