Wars


What if i told you, 

I cry myself to sleep everynight, 

Becuase thats when my demons, 

Love to pick a fight, 

What if i told you, 

The scars on my wrist arent from the cat, 

And everytime i look in the mirror i still feel fat, 

What if i told you, 

I wanted to take my own life, 

Cause nothing i do feels right, 

And im tired of battling this fight, 

What if i told you, 

If your feelings this way, 

There will be better days, 

Better nights, 

Along the way, 

But some pay the price, 

The one of their life, 

That day,

A ten year old girl was with her dad, 

Flying a kite, 

At the park Dragoo, 

She didnt think she would die so soon, 

Four years later, 

By her grave there were blue balloons, 

She wished she could see her dad soon
