DARKNESS
Sitting in the Darkness
Illuminated by the moon
There is a little girl
Who has grown up way too
soon
Sitting in the darkness
Surrounded by her pain
There is a little girl
Who wants to start again
Sitting in the darkness
Filled with deep despair
There is a little girl
Who wishes she was unaware
Sitting in the darkness
Holding tightly to the picture
There is a little girl
Who wonders about her future
Sitting in the darkness
Surrounded by her fear
There is a little girl
Who can't even cry a tear
Sitting in the darkness
Knowing she's all alone
There is a little girl
Praying for a peaceful home
Sitting in the darkness
Afraid to go to bed
There is a little girl
Who wishes she was dead
Laying in the darkness
Buried deep into the ground
There is a little girl
Who's never going to be
found
WHY
Why did you break the glass
That very first time
And hold it to your wrists
Why didn't you see the sign
When you made that first
cut
And you felt tremendous
relief
You should have known then
That it was too good to
believe
How could you feel so good
Doing something so wrong
You didn't see the consequences
That would come along
Cutting, burning, tearing
and scratching
How could something like
this
Feel so relaxing
The scars on your arms
The burns on your face
The questions were asked
But you waved them away
PEOPLE
People whispering
Behind your back
You turn to face them
They smile back
They think you didn't hear
What they had to say
What kind of freak
Could hurt herself that
way
It's for the attention
That's the word going 'round
Though you never showed
it off
And never meant for it to
be found
Why can't people
Just mind their own business
They didn't care before
Why is this any different
Now you walk around
With another label on your
soul
For people to laugh at
Will you ever be whole?
