For My Cousin

She used to sleep with knives and cutters under her bed,

Because of the monsters that's been screaming inside her head.


She went under too long and too deep,

That at one point she wanted to forget how to breathe.


Now the tables have turned and she's still alive,

Back from the dark to continue her life.


With her crown sitting on top of her head,

Now only sweet dreams dance beneath her bed.
