She died along time ago; Just a little poem that came to me

So this girl I know about 12
she believed she was on top of the world
Then one year it all came crashing down

See her parents got divorced when she was 10
That little girl locked herself in a bathroom and cried
She needed a friend, her mother became her bestfriend
Everything was discussed, tears were shed

The girl turns 12 and summer began
she thought she'd spend a summer with her dad
Summer turns to a winter school begins

Siblings and all she learns she's stuck
She cries herself to sleep for years
"Why doesn't my mom love me?"
Mutilation after mutilation she feels at ease

"To be or not to be?"
Hamlet must be right death must be better than life
The girl ages and her mother grows more distant

She finally gets back to being herself again
wouldn't you know it she isn't numb any longer
That mother she lost is replaced
that void she tried to fill

The girl turns 18 and geuss what she's learned
You can't live in the past you can only live for today
She is still struggling but she believes she'll pull through

Verbally abused by family, physically abused by family
She no longer believes in love
She believes in nothing and no one
How do you know? You might ask

She is me, I knew her when she died at 12
Reborn at 18
12 year old me slit her wrist and jumped from that 3 story apartment

18 year old me looks back shaking her head
"What the hell."
Wouldn't trade this crazy life for anything
Battle scars everywhere and I wouldn't trade it for the world

What did I learn?
I'm stronger without the family that doesn't love
I'm smarter than predicted to be
And braver than anyone

Why?
Because that's what I've taught me
