She smiled so brightly
To everyone as she passed
Hugged her friends
Their very last

Took the long way home
Admiring the trees
Laughing loudly out
But a shaking in her knees

Turned the little key
Walked inside her house
Took away all her things
Put on her favourite blouse

Breathing so hard and
Heart pouding an unsteady beat
Quietly pulled her way to her tub
Slowly dragging her feet

Turning the knob
Plugging the drain
Sitting quietly inside the water
Ready for her last pain

Slowly waiting for the water
To touch her gentle head
Let tears flow from her face
Waiting to be dead

Turning the water off
With the razor in her hand
Slits down her arm
Waiting to be damned

The freedom of the blood
Streaming from her being
Tears dried on her face
But still not seeing

The cold finally leaves
While the numb settles in
Finally warm and the anxiety gone
Feeling so good must be a sin

Eyes drooping steadily
The trembling slowed its pace
Red tinted water
Covering her face

Coming home to see
The perfect princess gone
Leaves the people shocked
Disturbed for so long

No one knew to come
To her aid when she smiled
Only when she cried and cried
Insults begun to pile

She held it in until
It became to much to hold
Gave herself to fear
From the beginning she was sold
