Tears

She lays on her bed

Tears streaming down her face

It's hard to breath

Because of the pain

Bruises litter her arms

Blood stained flesh

She wishes the pain would end

Her family hates her

She knows for sure

Why else would they do this?

A father that drinks

A mother that overdoses

They say she was a mistake

To even be alive

A sister that cuts

A brother that uses

They question why she isn't dead yet

Everything hurts

It always has

From the minute she was old enough

She was to be their slave

She tries to kill herself

To end the pain

But never succeeds

Why must God hate her

To make her suffer

No friends to care

No other family alive

She's alone

She knows this is true

She can't wait to die

Suffering or not

But she can't help but forgive them

For they are family

And she loves them

She lays on her bed

Ignoring the ache

To be loved

Never to be hurt again
