Giving up.

Alone in her room she rots,
Feeling like nobody wants her.
Always wondering where she did wrong,
Haunting temptations to stop her breathing.
They won't even notice when she's gone,
Oh how she contemplates leaving.

Every night she prays to her dream catcher,
To take her away in sweet dreams.
This life has dried out and spun out of control,
She sings a whispered lullaby with tears that night.
For death to gently take her soul.

She feels like she can't do anything right,
And loathes herself for no longer trying.
All that's left of a hell on earth year,
Is a little broken girl inside crying.

She can't imagine what's left for anyone to love,
Her self hatred runs too deep.
She wants to shatter all the mirrors,
But she's so tired, so she just sleeps

Dragging out the process of giving up,
Everyone watches as she sinks to the floor.
Too weak and worthless and filled with shame,
No one should have to see her anymore.
