The Battles We Fight
She was always there
She took my hand, helped me fly
My older cousin
Twas hard to be sad
When I was, she stood by me
Always by my side
Two years above I
There she stood, so brave, so tall
No doubt¬ in the mind
She had it all
Til the day I saw her fall
I had to step up
She pulled back her sleeve
Showed me the slits in her wrist
Her and I, we cried
All words disappeared
Then I took her by the hand
Told her it’d be fine
Yet somehow I lied
Went too far, it all dripped out
Blood falls drip by drip
Now she is condemned
Stuck within hospital walls
Mind is free at last
Why she would do it?
Something I may never know
How I love her so
I come visit you
Tears. They flew from our eyes
As I cracked a smile
Then I spoke these words:
You had once lent me your hand
Now, I’ll give you mine
Together we’ll fight
We’ll fight through our tears and blood
The Battle we fight
