What if she couldn't take it anymore?

Note: I wrote this a couple years ago and I recently found it, so I'll share it.


What if she couldn't take it anymore
Couldn't deal with it no more
Gave into everything she was told
Daddy yelling wake up,
Your not a kid anymore!
What are you doing?
Stop fooling around!
What if she laid in her bedroom
Staring at the clock
Listening as every midnight struck
How many days would have gone by
if she hadn't gotten up?
How many hours before it all made sense?
Before it drove her away?
Away from the nightmares that
held her in place.
To a paradise, where she could stay all day
Wishing that the waves could sing her a song
Just like the seashells that know
where they belong.
But you can't live in Fantasies.
You can't keep wishing for centuries.
These are the words she heard.
The words that drove her to insanity.
Can anyone tell me what would have happened if all of us were just as  saddened?
If all of us had given up our will and faded into madness?
