Her eyes are dead and her face pale
She screams for help and cries for mercy
She wants someone to help her and to hold her
But she’s scared they’ll judge her like so many others
She fights against the tides holding her in place
The waves tell her she’s worthless and should go away
She screams in agony for someone to help her
But no one hears her pain
She is pretty on the outside
Bright smile flashy clothes always out to make a name
She’s not sad right? she has a perfect life…..
She has money and lots of shiny things
No one notices the smile drop or the make-up smeared on her arms
There is lots of guys in her room and she cries she doesn’t want to be this
No one see’s that she’s not perfect and that she’s slowly drowning
In her own sea of guilt and regret. She thinks that she is fat and ugly, but her face is beautiful
She wants to die and cry. Be happy and sad. She screams in pain her head is on fire
Her throat is dry from screaming at the world. Why, why, why, she screams asking for mercy
She slowly dies away.
His face is handsome. Star of the football team.
Teeth are shiny and smile bright. He looks like he’s got money.
He goes home to a sick mom and a terrible father.
At night he screams for mercy “Why can’t I take it why?” he screams
He wants to die and try. He can’t leave her behind, so he tries to climb out
He fails too. He screams, screams every night until he slowly goes away
Drifting away
She has dark hair and is called names all day. Pushed into lockers and told to kill herself.
No one cares at home she cries out for mercy from this torment in her head.
She goes to bed with burns on her skin and tears streaking her face
She calls her brother telling him goodbye that she will see him later
He says goodbye. Only she really means goodbye forever
She finds the bullet and puts it at her head and it goes off.
Forgive me she whispers and then she drifts away
These are some of the ones that are lost to the world driven away
The pretty the perfect the ugly the judged
All are gone because they were fighting a battle in there head Goodbye they all whisper
