Girl sitting in the bathroom
So alone
Razor blade in hand
One swift move
Just one more
And it's over

She looks in a mirror
Not recognizing the face

Girl looking in the mirror
Breaks down in tears
Not knowing what else to do
She lifts the razor
Slowly drops to her wrist
Pressing down
Pressing
Until
Finally, blood gushes out
Her tears come faster

No one can see her pain
Hidden
Keeping her little secret
This little secret
A secret kept for years
No where to turn

Girl so lost and afraid
One day you will see
How loved you really are
One day look in a mirror
One day no tears will come

That day
Is today
