An act of desperation

She is trapped inside her own skin She wants to give up, she needs to give in She's always in a fight And cries herself to sleep every night Is it her fault, or is it theirs She feels like no one cares She's sick of the screaming and of the tears There's no one here to comfort her fears She's all alone in a world of no She has nowhere left to go She has nowhere to run, nowhere to hide She has nothing left, not even her pride So she grabs the knife, pushes it in Pushing it deeper into her skin The blood gushes out, leaving a stain But still she ignores the growing pain She cuts herself once more with the knife Wishing she could end her life There's no one to help so she turns on herself Not really caring about her health She doesn't care about the scars she's left on her wrist So she gives the knife yet another twist She wants to show the what they've done Make them sorry for ruining her fun She doesn't realise that it's herself she's hurt the most The wounds on her wrists are nothing to boast She has forgotten that there's always hope And that there are people who believe she will cope She mustn't give up, she mustn't give in She mustn't let herenemies win Look to tomorrow it's not as far as it seems Just hold on, you'll achieve all your dreams If you give up now you'll never know What will happen, how you'll grow So please don't give up ever again And when you need help please don't turn to pain
