As the blood runs down the drain
I begin to wonder why me?
Why this life?
A life full of saddens and fake smiles.
No one notices the darkness when you try to shed light.
But the shadows always win.
The creep around the edges and close in.
When they take over, darkness is all that is left.
Everyone can see what you've been trying to hide.
They don't care, though.
They know the sadness will leave this time.
But it didn't.
The darkness stayed until it suffocated me.
Leaving a shell of a person.
Why didn't they help me?
Am I not as good as their perfect daughter?
One wrong move and it all falls apart.
No one believes in you.
You're just a stupid *****.
No better than your mother.
As the blood dries,
so do the tears.
I want to run like a faucet,
letting everything out until I'm empty.
