A small child plays
Without a single care in the world
Then wakes up one day and realizes
Her voice had never before, been heard
Silenced by circumstance
Even she sobs quietly
Not out of reluctance, just buried
Under the weight of a crushing reality
Once bitten below the moon of loneliness
A sweet talker, she would have had the gift for gab
Tears spill on paper like tiny blood drops
For the life she never knew, nor ever had
Now playing a dangerous game of Russian roulette
With a life hanging in the balance
She aims to please so as you may forget
The innocence she traded in creating a disturbing alliance
With the root of all evils
She tries to scream without making a dent
Scarred severely, causing agonizing bleeds
Doomed for all eternity, time well spent
Too late to turn around
Too much pain seeps through
A lost cause on the surface
What she would not sacrifice to save you
Peacefully, she now transcends death
You never knew your mother, the kind of person she was
She traded misery so you would have the life she did not
And she did so willingly; out of love
Without a single care in the world
Then wakes up one day and realizes
Her voice had never before, been heard
Silenced by circumstance
Even she sobs quietly
Not out of reluctance, just buried
Under the weight of a crushing reality
Once bitten below the moon of loneliness
A sweet talker, she would have had the gift for gab
Tears spill on paper like tiny blood drops
For the life she never knew, nor ever had
Now playing a dangerous game of Russian roulette
With a life hanging in the balance
She aims to please so as you may forget
The innocence she traded in creating a disturbing alliance
With the root of all evils
She tries to scream without making a dent
Scarred severely, causing agonizing bleeds
Doomed for all eternity, time well spent
Too late to turn around
Too much pain seeps through
A lost cause on the surface
What she would not sacrifice to save you
Peacefully, she now transcends death
You never knew your mother, the kind of person she was
She traded misery so you would have the life she did not
And she did so willingly; out of love
