On pain and death. It’s not how I feel these days, but I still thought I would share.

Pain fills my heart again
Tears fall down like rain
Nothing seems to erase the hurt
Misery seems to be the only thing that works

An ocean full of bloody tears
Body trembling; shaking from all my fears
A sea filled in complete sorrow
All hope erased for a brighter and better tomorrow

Cuts and bruises, too many scars
This girl took her addiction a bit too far
She should be sent away to get better
but she would rather say goodbye in a scarlet letter

She does not dare to look at her reflection
She is too afraid to see her bruised complexion
She did not know better than to treat herself in this damaged way
She could not even think of how to say the things she always needed to say

So she will write it all down in a scarlet letter
and hope on the other side things will be better
She tried to make it through, she really did try
but all she knows now is to say goodbye
