Only A Child

She was always a problem child
She wasn't the same as other kids
Something wasn't quite right
They knew she wasn't quite normal
It could have been worse
They thought they could fix her
They sent her to counsellors
Made her do strange activities
That would "take out the monster" in her
A monster, is what she felt like
Why can't I go play? she asked
But they wouldn't let her
They had to fix her first.
And finally, after a while
They thought she was fixed
So they left it alone

And she seemed fine
At least for a while
After all, she was only a child

But then she reached her teenage years
And everything went wrong again
She would get depressed for no reason
Fight with her friends easily
Often thought about ending her life
Couldn't go for a week without crying
She liked to think she was normal
And her problems were merely hormones
But deep inside she knew it wasn't true
She knew she was different
There was something seriously wrong with her
She began to hate herself
And harmed herself to releive the pain
Cutting, seeing the blood,
Her only escape

What else can I do? she asked
Normal people don't hurt themselves
But then again, she's not normal
There's something very very wrong with her...
