She Cut Too Deep

She once was the perfect daughter
who would do anything she had to.
But no one knew the pain she held
she had a smile that could fool you.

Her arms were always covered up
with her black and blue sweaters.
She held that smile of pure gold
no matter what change in the weather.

Her wrists held the scars and cuts
but she always helped others in pain.
She listened day after day of their problems
still never once did she complain.

She knew as long as everyone was happy
then it didn't matter that she was dying.
She started to stay hidden from others
As she laid on the floor numb and crying.

She knew as along as her family smiled
it didn't matter if she was in constant pain.
Because she knew if they found out
everything around her would've changed.

All her demons snuck up on her
It all seemed to change that day
She had no strength to fight anymore
Her will to live had faded away.

She held her razor blade tightly
thinking of all the mistakes she'd made.
She believed she was a failure in life
Her agony seemed to never fade.

She sliced her arms in a violent manner
she cut ‘I'm sorry’ on her tiny wrists.
As she felt weak she fell to her knees
the ground hit her clenched fists.

Her mother and father cried
they couldn't find their baby girl.
Crying themselves to sleep at night
every thing is now gone, their world.

She has yet to be found
all that is left is a little note.
The black ink now smeared
this is what her daughter wrote.

"Dear Mom and Dad
I'm afraid you'll never find me.
But don't worry, I'll be alright
because I know I'm finally free.

I'll be with you in your dreams
I'll be with you in your prayers.
Just because I'm not there beside you
it doesn't mean I'm not there.

I am in a safe place now I promise
do not make finding me your world.
I love you always Mom and Dad
I will always be your baby girl."

She thought it was the only way out
As she took that last deadly leap.
Too late to save her, she's secluded
dead in this world because she cut too deep
