A wave of relief flooded her face

as she saw her baby girl

A little girl was born in a race

to see who would die first

At five years old, the girl got a friend of black with socks of snow

At six years old she got another with a beautiful golden glow

At ten years old she found out news that broke her heart in half

her dad had cancer in his throat and she could only hope it would not last

At 11 years old, in the spring, a cold day came forth

early in the morning a scream came from a familiar source

Her mother cried and held her close as her father died

The child cried and watched as her father closed his eyes

At 14 she could barely breath even when the sky was blue

She screamed, cut, hit, and cried out for help from you

Her cries went unheard when she wanted to die

Her soul wanted to be free but she held on for dear life

Her friends came around to her cries

and wiped the tears from her eyes

She told herself she'd manage a smile until she'll finally die.
