^GI close my eyes when I get too sad. ^D5I think thoughts that I know are bad. ^C5Close my eyes and I count to ten. ^D5Hope it's over when I open them. ^GI want the things that I had before, ^D5Like a Star Wars poster on my bedroom door. ^C5I wish I could count to ten, ^D5make everything be wonderful again. ^GHope my Mom and I hope my Dad ^D5figure out why they get so mad. ^C5Hear them scream, hear them fight. ^D5They say bad words that make me want to cry. ^GI close my eyes when I go to bed ^D5and I dream of angels that make me smile. ^C5I feel better when I hear them say, ^D5"Everything will be wonderful some day."
