I wait and watch

As the world around me spins out of control

Seems like time has stopped for me

Like I'm the invisible person

That watches others lives unfold

Watching helpless

I am a bistander in my own life too

I go numb and just watch as I die inside

I can't help

Can't reach the part of myself that is broken

Can't help as I watch myself dying

Can't help when I see the self mutilation

I just stand on the outside looking in as I fall apart

See the tears that stain my face

See the hurt that fills my eyes

See the fingers that lock around a blade

See the arms that are mutilated

All the destuction

Which I can only watch from the outside

It's like being stuck in a bad dream

Only I can't wake up because this is no dream

It's my reality

A reality so horribly real

It couldn't just be a dream

The blood is too real

The pain is too intense

The scars all too visible

This is no dream

Only what my life has become
