Daddy, please don’t leave,
Mommy, please don’t yell,
Just don’t be sad that
I had to escape your hell
When you said we were a family
I knew it was only a blood relation
I wasn’t really your daughter,
Just an accidental creation.
For some reason, it seemed
To hurt less when it was me
Breaking my own body
it was those cuts that set me free
Another fight, another typical night
Until you threatened me with a knife
I grabbed it from your hands,
And right there, I took my own life
My family was shattered,
And I had no reason to stay
Why should I let hell
Reign for another day?
Did you forget you had a daughter?
And not see that I really needed you,
All those empty words,
Promises that never came through.
It may seem like I made a crazy decision
But I had to end the pain
And if I had the choice
I would do it all over again
I went from a place that was worse than hell
To a place high above, somewhere called heaven
I am so happy my life with you is over
I’m just sad I didn’t get to turn seven.
