I lay in bed and cry all day
I don't know what to say
I just thought I should say something
I just thought I should save someone
Annie McLaughlin Sep 2015
In my eyes, you can see
The prettiest girl
Laughing so happily as her dad lifts his whole world
He whispers in her ear, "I won't ever hurt you"
In my eyes, the most beautiful memory I knew

In my eyes, you can see
The most frightened girl
Shaking so violently as her dad harms his whole world
He whispers in her ear, "I didn't mean to hurt you"
In my eyes, the most scariest memory I knew

In my eyes, you can see
The saddest girl
Crying uncontrollably as her dad leaves his whole world
She whispers in his ear, "Now you've hurt me"
In my eyes, the most tragic memory

In my eyes, you can see
The loneliest girl
Breathing so heavily as she harms her own world
She whispers to herself, "I didn't mean to bleed"
In my eyes, the most painful memory

In my eyes, you can't see
The brokenhearted girl
Lying so still as she leaves this cold world
She whispers to herself, "You will stop hurting"
In my eyes, the last memory I knew

Who am I?
I am the girl who screams at the fire
"Come get me! I'm not afraid of you!"
I am the girl who bleeds to feel something
Anything
I am the girl with so many secrets bottled up inside
I am the girl who's heart has been shattered one-too-many times

I am a white horse.

Others don't see what I see
They don't know what I know
They don't feel what I feel
I am the girl that you didn't see...
That you passed in the halls everyday
I am the girl who chases her dreams
I am the girl who's not afraid
Of anything

I am a white horse

I trip, I fall...
I get knocked down
Pushed down
Beaten to the ground...
That makes me who I am today
But who is that?
Not a princess, not afraid
Not a child, I understand
Not a freak, I am my own person

I am a white horse
Wrote this at the age of 13.

I think they call it suicide
When you do it knowing you're going to die
But does it count
If you have already killed my insides?
Annie McLaughlin Sep 2015
In the air, cold as you
I can only see a half of the moon
And I laugh as I realize its leaving me, too
Cause you think that'll always be there
But you come home one day and
Where?

The snowflakes remind me of you
The bracelets, the things that they do
The flowers, colored so bright
Jeans the flavor of night

I heard you say you're gonna know
I'll come back with a different glow
Even though we said goodbye
I still feel words lingering in the air
With the hope that you'll catch them out there

I guess Im writing this
Because there's really no one else
To share my feelings with
And I like to think, dad
That you're up in heaven
And its not as bad
Without us, as it is down here without you
Because you're watching me, dad
I bet you can see my every move

But dad, if you saw my every move you'd dissaprove
I'm broken, dad
And I don't know how to cope without you
And maybe, dad
If you never left
I wouldn't do the things that I had
And maybe, dad
If I hadn't done the things that I had
I wouldn't be this **** sad

Please don't touch me, sir
I know you mean no harm
No, you cant hold my hand
Or stop this car
Please don't love me, sir
I know it doesn't look hard
But when you take away my clothes
You'll see the scars

You took the parts of me
That weren't all that pretty
And you turned them into a damaged city
You tore away my flesh piece by piece
And I walked home alone
In a damaged city
