Everyday she sits and watches as the world passes her by
Her eyes are frozen, captured in slow motion
Yet the world around her is speeding
Faster then what seems possible
Sleepless nights and tearless cry's
She cant quite grasp hold of what it is
She's trying so very hard to get out of this Hypnosis feeling
Her brain is racing yet her heart is paced
She can't physically get her emotions out
There hiding under the surface boiling up
Even so her face stays frozen like ice
Despite the fire that's hiding beneath.
After years of fighting she's finally given up
She's been driven so far off track
That there's no possible way of getting back
Her mental capacity just isn't strong enough
So now she sits, surviving.. just about
She stopped running her life, she simply couldn't
She was a lost girl, so decided to let life run her instead.
She was led down the path that seemed right at the time
Every penny she had she spent, but not on food, nor on rent
She spent it on alcohol, every kind.
Every night she collapsed to her sleep,
On the kitchen floor yes, but to her was still sleep
But after a while she grew bored of the alcohol..
She wanted more, wanted a new buzz, a new "happiness"
For the first time since she was a child she felt complete
Like nothing else mattered..
When she ran out of money it was okay,
She had a back up,
Her now frail and fragile body stood on her corner
she simply sold her body,
She remembers how warm it always was in the strange men's cars
Warmer then what she was used to..
The cold nights breeze, the rain that sogged her cardboard shelter
It made it all worth it in her eyes, the warmth, the money.. The drug's
So, here she is today.
The girl who once used to fight with her sisters,
Help her mother with the dishes,
This women that was ones a child.
Here she is today, surrounded by paramedics
Almost unrecognisable she's laid out on the stretcher..
Overdose they said..
At her funeral, few showed.
Maybe the odd passer-by that had ones given her money,
But there were no friends, no family..
She had lost connection with them all, was blinded by her few needs.
6 foot underground she lies.. As life passes her by
Frozen she is, but not in slow motion..
This girl who got swallowed up by life
Frozen for eternity.
