Porcelain Lives
Love and lies
 Statics to you
 Alive and well
 Go on without being noticed
 
 A girl of shameful actions
 Depression on her mind
 One story to end tragically
 One girl and her struggle
 
 Words spoken over dinner
 Ending with slamming of bedroom doors
 A mothers anger, a daughters tears
 A fathers attempt to keep his family together
 
 Day and night 
 Fights that only end badly
 Locked doors and loud music
 A girl and her only escape
 
 Throw downs and let downs
 Hatred and destruction
 Her life is turned upside down
 By her very own parents
 
 For only a couple hours
 She is isolated at home
 Her parents left for a night out
 Bad intentions and humiliating memories fill her mind
 
 Alone in a house with temptation
 Curiosity can kill a soul
 Pills and razors are her fate
 Cold showers and tears show the pain
 
 A car door slams outside the forlorn house
 She scrambles to her feet in the dark bathroom
 Failing and falling back to the ground
 Blood staining the floor, shame filling the air
 
 She was bleeding on the bathroom floor
 Hiding her face in her shaking hands
 Blood-stained razors and empty pill bottles
 Emergency vehicles on the way
 
 Phone calls are made
 Conversations are spoken
 Options limited down for her
 Diagnosis is made, depression the name 
 
 Doctors and medications
 A rehab for the mentally unstable
 She has let her parents down
 Truth of loneliness slowly creeps upon her
 
 A memory of the good old days
 Plays out in her desperate mind
 With nothing left to say
 Confessions soon fade away
 
 Body and soul
 Separated by a 1000 lies
 Fear of what the future may hold
 Tonight and every night she cries herself to sleep
 
 Her porcelain life was broken
 Shattered to the core
 With nowhere left to go
 She did the only thing she knew
 
 Thousands are like her
 Thousands go untreated
 For many they hit rock bottom
 Many never know the difference
