Her parents used to fight.
She looked forward to school
Dreaded the weekend
People thought she was a fool

When they had to move
She didn't say anything
She really didn't want to
Give up everything

They moved to a new place
She had a fresh start
A clean slate
But it still broke her heart

She wanted to go back
Back to the morning she was born
And erase all the memories
So that she didn't have to mourn

She remembers that day
Where the terrible news came
There was an earthquake
And she recognised all the names

They were her friends
The ones that made her feel loved
But now they were watching her
From up above

She wanted to go back
To grieve with the remaining few
But her parents refused
And she didn't know what to do

She gave up talking
She gave up eating
Until she was bruised
Scarred and bleeding

She tried to get help
Her parents thought
She was just trying to get attention
And so they fought

They had fought before
But never this bad
She couldn't help
She felt so sad

She thought
There was only one way out
So she…experimented
With a knife she played about.
