Shed a tear,
Knowing all you’ll ever do is live life in fear
Here’s a story that should send chills down your spine
It could be about anyone, but we’ll say it happened to a friend of a friend of mine
With that, I submit this for the approval of all society
I warn you now this story isn’t garden variety
No one can fully understand the torment or torture of the human mind
Peer behind the curtain and you might be scared of what you find
This one’s about a girl who was looking for support
But instead she pushed the panic button and decided to abort
She had beautiful brown eyes and olive skin
No one could ever suspect she was troubled with life’s greatest sin
She purposely wanted to leave the parachute unpacked
Looking for everything in the next life that this one lacked
But, unfortunately this is a decision she can never take back.
She tried taking every pill she had
She was foiled by thinking of the tears of her dad
This is a girl whose life you thought was filled with happiness and bliss
But the reality is this
She’s had thoughts of heading for a knife to cut up those wrists
In doing so, she’ll never get to go to prom
Never again will she see the face of her mom
She’ll never get to feel true loves first kiss
But she doesn’t care cause she feels as though she’ll never be missed
Questions remain, if we had just taken the time and spent an extra minute or 2
Would she have shown us her heart was really black and blue
If only she was advised to put the thought of her actions to words
Unfortunately her voice was never heard
Some would say those actions are cowardly
Or maybe they’re too blind to see
Through all the negativity
You can still get lost in a world of self pity
Tired of thinking of herself as the worst
This might be her way of coming in first
A smile might grow on ones face
Thinking they’d finally be done with this thing they called the human race
Is it any wonder that thinking of the world sends her into depression
How could it not when it seems like we’re stuck in regression
Seems the only way out is putting an end to all the various voices in her head
Immaterial knowledge that society’s force fed
A description of perfection she never matched
Is it any wonder she feels so detached
She ponders the reality of what happens when you die
She wonders and hopes maybe there really is an invisible man in the sky
She’s ready to take the plunge and find out or maybe she won’t
All we know is she’s tired of following the do’s and don’ts
She writes a letter not knowing who’ll read it, saying ‘when you’re done this cruel ride
She’ll be waiting on the other side
Its better if you don’t understand
No matter how much she wishes you can’
Her parents always said, one day she’d make a killing
Who knew her life would be so unfulfilling
Now we’ll never know
As she stands on death’s row
Is she gonna pull the trigger
As she takes one last look in the mirror...
Shed a tear,
But not for her, do it for all those who live life in fear.
