• I'm sorry if I've interrupted
    But I have a problem that's become quite corrupted
    There's no way to hide it
    There's no use to fight it
    But I just want to see
    That it's not just me
    That doesn't know how to deal
    With these feelings that I feel

    Shouldn't have my family been the ones to make sure that I was stable
    Or was it okay to drive me to the point of becoming mentally disabled
    Shouldn't they have been there for me to talk to when I felt like dirt
    Or was it okay for them to leave me deeply hurt
    Weren't they supposed to help fix these broken wings
    Or were they supposed to tell me those awful things

    How could I just stand and witness my little sisters abuse
    How could they just throw that child at me when they didn't want to be of use
    How is it that I was the only one to be there
    And that's how they left the impression that they didn't care
    Why is it that they wanted a baby girl
    Then give up around year five, leaving her to learn to hate this world

    It was my freshman year that I realized I was done
    All I wanted was love, nothing that hurt or stung
    But I believed that I didn't deserve it
    Therefore, I thought, it's really not worth it to preserve it
    I packed my things as well my sisters
    I couldn't leave her here, they wouldn't really miss her
    We tip toed down the fire escape, and landed swiftly on the concrete,
    Then we jogged to the subway station that was a few blocks down the street

    But as we boarded the subway train, I realized we hadn't a place to go
    I collapsed in the seat, letting the tears flow
    I knew only one person that lived around here
    But it was closer to Broadway, and that wasn't very near
    But it was when we got off the train
    I heard familiar voices calling my name
    Before I could even look, their arms wrapped tightly around me
    I looked up at Gabriella and Michael and whispered, "I'm so glad you found me."
