Tracy's Bedroom

Open the door

If you dare

If you're brave you may

Even go inside

And feast your eyes on

What Tracy hides

Razors and scissors and knives

Oh my!

Cutting the pain away…

Bleeding the pain away…

A bathroom scale over here

Bikini poster girls

And a mirror

Stacked next to diet pills

Each stronger than the last

Feast your eyes on

What Tracy hides

Coke, acid, weed, and E

Tracy has them

Maybe even booze?

She's got it

Feast your eyes on

What Tracy hides

Condoms nestled in a drawer

Wads of cash, stolen goods

A wardrobe no one could afford

She couldn't afford…

In the closet

Look in the back

Cardboard box

Dusty with memories

A photo album with love and friends

Teenage poetry locked in a book

Report cards

Stuffed animals

Treasures from long ago

Push it back

Farther

Farther away

The past is past

Yesterday

Evie's come to take it away

Live for the moment

Watch her as she parties

Drinks

Cuts

Starves

Fucks

Watch her as she

Throws her life away

Innocence, childhood

Evie's taken it away

Tracy is no longer

Young and free

But when it's dark

And no one can see…

In the closet

Look in the back

Cardboard box

Dusty with memories

Feast your eyes on

What Tracy lost
