Don’t be afraid, little girl
A few more minutes
You’re almost dead

Just close your eyes
And let yourself bleed
Forget the lies
You’ve already done the deed

Soon you’ll be free at last
Free, away from the past

You’ll die beautiful
You’ll die young
You’ll die pieced together as one.

My friend told me she cut herself and i was inspired. Yes, that sounds terrible but my fingers were itching with words.
