On Gloomy Days

No matter how hard she tries
And no matter how much she cries,
The girl cannot make peace with herself,
Or her body,
Or her mind

And in those times
Where she feels lost and alone and empty
And only coldness and numbness
On the inside,
With no hand to hold,
No shoulder to cry on,
No one who would listen or truly understand
Why she's having such a hard time,
She really wishes the floor would just open up
And swallow her whole
So that she can disappear,
Finally giving in
And letting the darkness consume her,
Eating her up from the inside

For on gloomy days,
She really does wish
God would hear her prayers just once
And finally let her drop dead
And die...
