Footsteps in the hallway tell her
her mother is home
Sadness and depression is
all she has known

She grabs a knife and
cuts deep into her flesh
The emotional pain subsides
as she waits for death

Her mother walks in the bathroom
to find her daughter on the floor
she's not breathing anymore

Her mother is frantic on the phone
with 911, screaming at them to hurry
up and come.

At the hospital she is strapped to a bed
cursing herself for not being dead
Next time she promises herself
there will be no mistakes
she's determined to end this
whatever it takes

Her mother sits next to her
tears stream her face
she doesn't understand
why her daughters this way

No words can explain
why the girl feels this way
all she knows is being
dead is the only way
to end her pain
