The lights turn off,
THe city falls asleep,
But she's still crying herself to sleep..

How did her life change so suddenly?
Where have all her good friends gone to?
Where did everything go?
There were many questions on her mind,
And she could not bare the answers..

Life have changed so dramatically,
People come and go,
A day tomorrow cannot be planned nor wished for,
Because life throws sudden changes..

She lies in her bed, weeping in agony,
What have life done to her at a very young age?
She's still a child,
And she can't handle more above all of this..

She cannot bare people no more,
She cannot bare more responsibilities,
No, she cannot..

She tries to hide it all and move forward,
But the more she moves forward,
The stronger the force is to pull her backwards,
'Why me' - She asks God in tears..

Every inch of her body and bone are in pain,
Her eyes cant close for a good night sleep,
Because all she can see is the exhausted soul inside her..

24 hours are not enough for her daily responsibilities,
But she's the girl who could be found dead
Among all of her own responsibilities as well as others..

But she is me..
And I shed tears each night..
I'm trying to break away from this tiring life..
But no method seems to be working..
Nothing is helping..

They say the good die young,
Well, what do they say about the young exhausted soul suffering alive?
I may not bare some answers..
And I know there is nothing left inside me..to carry on much longer..
