THE LAST ENTRY IN HER TEENAGE JOURNAL

this pain she feels
is a little too real
it's like she can't breathe
always crying herself to sleep
she's finding it hard to make it
she's doesn't know if she can take it
she's already lost now
she's already fallen down
she now has nothing left
her life's just one big regret
she's never been so scared
it's too bad no one cared
rocking back and forth
lying on the floor
she's completely out of life
she running out of time
nothing lasts forever
wishing she could feel better
because the drugs she needs
keep leaving her empty
maybe that's why
she keeps on getting high
who would have known
she felt so alone
is that why she would hide away
did you know she was in pain
all the bottles have fallen open
and her needles lying broken
trembling she's cutting deeper
the blade making her weaker
there's no substitute for love
so she's writing this in blood
she opened up her veins
as she fills up the tub again
she slowly sinks beneath
and slowly drifts off to sleep
she's lost in the clouds
this time she won't come down
there's no substitute for love
so she's writing this in blood
her drugs have no effect
she has already no regrets
she's gone off to sleep
watching her lovely arms bleed
