Od, to a good friend

Oh dearest little girl,
the world is too much
your support system can't get through to you
you're crashing.

fears and anxiety rule your life
self-esteem drowns in depression
self-pity traps you
self-harm takes over

Oh young lady with your gashes cut DEEP
can you see it?
your family is dysfunctional
your mind is tainted.
this isn't how it's supposed to be
Stay strong hun,
for this world isn't against you.

Entering your bloodstream, leaving you to collapse.
Baby it's not your time to die
every meal you skip
my sympathy grows stronger
your immune system gets weaker  
all the memories blur when you dance with the devil

Lurk out of your heart
and into your mind
this doesn't last forever
I see the happy girl seeping through,
please
let her in
I don't want to lose my best friend.
