They all look at me wondering how I became this way
Let me count the ways
One
One wrong body
Two
Two parents that gave up
Three
Three words abused over and over
I love you
Three treatment centers
Four
Four months getting help
Five
Five years old when he left
Six
Six schools before I'm 16
Seven
Seven days everyday I force myself to keep living
Eight
Eight pounds lost in one week
Nine
Nine bruises I cannot explain
Ten
Ten out of ten families say they wish they saw the signs
Nine
Nine more minutes until I'm gone
Eight
Eights years I've been feeling this way
Seven
Seven days in a wee that I'll never live again
Six
Six words that I always hear "why don't you just **** yourself?''
Five
Five days a week I hear those words
Five years between me and the guy who took my trust in guys
Four
Four minutes that felt like years
Three
Three breathes left
Two
Two parents with
One less child
Zero people saw the signs
Zero, how many years i have left
Zero chances
Zero regrets
