Hello, Just Me Here

Pink

Pretty little girl

Dressed in all pink

The news they told her

Caused her heart to sink

She cried every night

Not in anyone's sight

She hid all her scars

But the death she thought of was never too far

In her mind

She thought of things that would make you want to sink

To the bottom of the ocean

As if there were no motion

As she did

She sank

And she fought battles on her thighs

She fought night after night

And day after awful day

She fought

With the things on her mind

The news they told her

She could never leave behind

She wanted escape

The blade was a hero in a red cape

She tried to lift her head high

She lied to others

Did not want them to see her die

Did not want to burden the hearts of the ones she loved

But what burden would be brought on they who love she?

We will fight and defend

Because in the end

She was always there

For me
