look up world,
look up and see,
look what I have done to my body to me,
self mutilation,
a world apart,
from your perfect lives.
And so I took their advice,
they check your wrists but never your thighs,
so i cut,
a little deeper each time,
but never enough to die,
just enough to feel,
the pain from in, outside.
And you ask me why,
why I cry alone at night,
well it's not like your there with me.
When you hurt you cry,
when I hurt I just want to die.
You can hurt me and no one cares,
but when I hurt myself I can't share,
It's shameful,
hide it darling,
no one needs to know,
why do you do this to yourself?
you should be asking why you do this to me,
I can controll the pain,
how much it hurts,
how much red shows,
and it's the one part in my life I can controll,
to know my actions are why I'm hurting,
and I can't blame anyone.
So I'm going to paint a picture,
but this picture has a twist,
my paintbrush is a razor,
and my canvas is my wrist.
wow
