Prayer

A little girl's gone missing
She's vanished without a trace
She was last seen on a Saturday,
With tears running down her face.
She was taken by a monster,
Whose face no one did see
But now looking in the mirror
I realise-- it was me.

I am that little girl
And that monster, too
For my depression was left to fester,
And over time it grew.
I was cutting at a party
And as I picked up the blade,
I lost all my innocence--
The little girl began to fade.

I want to bring her back now,
I just want to be free
Of all this pain and misery
Of knowing I am not me.
So please just bring her back now,
I promise, never more
Will I hurt myself, or anyone
Please-- I'm standing at death's door.

I look in the mirror at my face,
And into my souless eyes
I realise what they've done to me
With all their hurt and lies.
I beg of you, please hear my prayer,
For the pain I feel is true
I don't know who I am now
I don't know what to do.

So now I've lost all my innocence,
And some mistakes were made
But soon the blood drips from my wrists
And the monster begins to fade.
Sitting on the bathroom floor,
I know life is a lie
I think this is the only way
Now I'm going to die.
