Mar 2014
With a noose closing her throat
Blooding running from her wrists
She's prepared to take her final breath

Then she remembered
What she never wanted to forget
She cried and screamed
And fought the regret

This life was hers to take
But she knows she wants to live
Somewhere deep inside
She knows what it's like to be loved

She got down from her chair
And didn't want to move
But mom knew.

Shipped off, she began to learn what to live for.

Homecoming, her new skills are put to the test
She thinks maybe it's all been put to rest.

Mom doesn't know howΒ Β to filter
Her jokes taunting
With the ***** looks and "don't **** yourself"s
It's really no wonder why
She's afraid of the time.

So now she has a bad day
Breaks down for a moment

No hugs or "better luck next time"

Shipped off again like a package you didn't want

Is this how you treat your only daughter?
