Better Days and Razor Blades

I dream of a better day
When men and women
Are free
To be without illusions.
When he says I love you
And means it.
When mother earth smiles
For a brand new beautiful day
When mothers and fathers
Never argue
And no children are left in a broken home.
I wish no one would pity me
The girl who's pretty but just not pretty.
I wish we would stop fighting
And people would stop killing and hurting
I wish I could pick up the razor
And make that slit
Would my pain go away then?
If I could make that slit would it dissolve away
Or would I be left cutting
Because no one sees.
See's I'm filled with pain
And all I want is love.
I want his love
I want things to be better
I want a brand new day
A new life
And a new start
I don't want to make that slit
To cope with my reality
For I fear if I do
I'll never stop cutting.
I wish he'd stay.
