Red fills her eyes

Her breath leaves her lungs

This is for all of those lies

The lies that took her life

Now all she has is a knife

Cut sideways for attention

Cut downwards for results

Results everyone wanted

Everyone taunted

Tears rolled down her cheeks

No one likes it when she speaks

Yet they yell at her for staying quiet

They will never understand the pain

But maybe it can go away

Cut sideways for attention

Cut downwards for results

Lucky for them, her voice is now gone

Gone in the darkness, gone in the rain

Now the light is shown

The light of heaven

The light that was never known
