- She grew into leaves As she wrote into her bleeding notebook Collecting diamonds from every drip Balancing on a crystal dream Erasing reality Swallowing fantasy - Faraway, a letter grew wings And printed itself to the girls skin - Invited to Depression’s Party She swept away her notebook And dressed herself in poetry pearls Ink slippers stained her feet - As she twirled backwards to her demise Silver cobblestones and golden chariots Greeted with royalty She entered the Razorblade Ballroom Which kissed her graciously - She was given porcelain razors Covered with colorful gems “Go ahead my lovely and dance with them” Evil whispers filled her little head “Suicide will be proud” - She began to dance with those beautiful razors But then she saw those delicate butterflies Fluttering gently on her wrists She then remembered her vow - To never ever harm those creatures Because if she harmed herself Those butterflies will die The razors fell and shattered - The Razorblade Ballroom She promise to never visit again She realizes her bad decisions Can affect many - She lives her life today Being a world wide example To those who are hurting
Yes I remember those dark days when I spent hours in the "razorblade ballroom" struggling with depression and suicidal thoughts. These were my darkest times. I never danced in that ballroom ever since. Although I do get invitations from time to time.
