There is a girl i know

by emily   Mar 7, 2006


There is a girl i know
Whose fallen deep down a hole
Father help this child
She's been down there for a while

She's been looking for love in all the wrong places
Reaching out to men with unfamiliar faces
They promise her attention and affection
She keeps being led into the wrong direction

Further down the hole they drag her
She tries to climb back up but always ends up going backwards
She is lost and stumbling around in the dark
Searching for a hand to hold and someone to fix her heart
Father help her before its too late
She can't take much more before she breaks

Men keep using her
They always end up abusing her
She'll bend over backwards trying to find someone
She doesn't realize her life is coming undone
She's in too deep now
She wants to quit but doesn't know how

She's finally had enough
So she picks up the blade
Father please help her!
These men have made her go insane
Stop her from ending her young life
With the quick slice from a knife...

There once was a girl i knew
Who let the wrong men tell her what to do
I often think about her and pray
Because she is no longer with us today

    Oh i guess i should add that while this story is completely true about one of my friends, she did not commit suicide. I know it is weird that i wrote it that way but she told me that she has thought about it and that is what inspired the ending. but thank you for commenting it really means a lot.
