She rises from her bitter bed
With thought is sadness in her head
She idolizes being dead
Facing the day with eternal dread
She writes songs of pain as she weeps
But she has a promise to keep
Until then she shall not sleep

She screams and cries when she thinks
No one is around or listening
Wishing, wanting, dare I say praying
For the day to come when she stops hurting
And that girl, this girl,
Who wishes she were gone
Is too afraid to ask for help alone
Is getting tired of feeling alone
