Cuts and Scars

She looks at the cuts
She looks at the scars
She wonders why she's still alive
She looks in the mirror
in the eyes of that young girl
She sees all the pain,
she only wished she could die
She closes her eyes
picks up the gun
and only thinks of the pain
that will soon be gone
But the angel has come
She takes away the gun
She holds her tight
and tells her it'll be alright
She holds her hand
and helps her fight for her life

Now she looks
at the cuts
She looks at
the scars
and she wonders....

How did she survive?
