In The Dark

by Christina McDowell   Dec 24, 2006


I'm a little girl
With little pigtails
I just went through a whirl
All I do is fail

I can't wake to the reality
After all these years
i just can't agree
Of face all those fears

Standing up for myself
All alone in the dark
There's nothing left
Except a scarring mark

Stuck in a dark childhood
Remembering only of the past
There's never any good
Good enough so I could last

Reminiscing my nightmare
Never waking up to the present
My heart continues to tear
When I hear words said that weren't
meant

There's no light bright enough
To lead me out
Life gets so rough
And no one knows what I'm about

Pain won't do anything
I have no feeling
I'm missing something
As I'm slowly peeling

With a dark and lost heart
I continue to cry,
Fall apart,
And die...
