Maybe in Heaven


Nobody knows.

No one can tell.

No one can see

Into her personal hell.

Her walls are too tall,

They’re built too thick

That no one can hear

Her heart’s tick tick,

 

Like a time bomb,

Just waiting,

About to explode.

 

But her walls will protect

Those on the outside.

Her walls will keep in

Her moans as she dies.

 

Alone by choice,

But driven by fate.

If given a chance,

She’d never choose this hate

 

For herself , from herself

Though she doesn’t know why

She cries all alone,

And prays she will die.

 

She’s too afraid

To do the deed herself,

So she asks God for mercy

For an escape from this hell.

 

All she wants

Is to be free,

To be loved,

To be seen,

 

For someone to care

Because no one does here.

Maybe in Heaven,

She’ll be held dear.

 

And maybe in Heaven

She can escape

From the scars on her wrist,

Maybe in Heaven

She’ll finally be safe,

 

Safe from the horrors

Of a fallen world,

Safe from the laughter

That tore apart that young girl,

Safe from the bullies,

And safe from the pain,

Because it’s said that in Heaven

 

It never rains.
