She has the heated lighter

To her flesh once more

She puts herself through pain

A pain she can control

She's ready to meet life's end

As she presses the razor

Into her young wrist

She's about to go up river

But the loud ring of the her phone

Breaks her concentration

"This will be the last person I talk to"

The first thing that came from the other end

The first words that her mother spoke to her in years

The first light to her dark world

Were the words "I'm pregnant"

She put the razor down

Never to return to it again

A/N this was what happened when I was nine
