I have a little button

in case of an attack.

It's small and red and shiny

for when my mood is black.

I have a little button

a switch inside my head.

It shuts down my emotions

it really leaves them dead.

So if you ever hurt me

be careful what you say,

once pressed it's really hard for me

to be another way.

I made it for my Daddy

a long, long time ago.

He said he didn't love me

and it was time to go.

So now that you have hurt me

it's really no surprise

that I've pressed my little button,

so I can still survive.
