• There was a time where everything was fine
    when I could let the sun shine,
    then the peace began to burn
    things got worse and worse at every turn,
    my sense of what was right vanished
    my feeling of worth became tarnished,
    I didn't feel like there was life
    it just turned into a furious strife.
    I had lost all my pride
    my friends all left as though I had died,
    I tried to make things better all in vain
    yet everything ended in more pain,
    my self respect was the next thing to go
    that's when things started to show,
    everyone said it was a phase that I was ok
    but there were things that wouldn't fade away.
    I looked out into the world with a blank stare
    disgusted at how people made it seem like they cared,
    If they didn't like me and I knew it was true
    their act was over with I was through,
    for days and nights I closed my door
    and watched the blood drip onto the floor,
    to me everyday seemed to rain
    I thought even the gods knew my pain.
    But soon months had past
    this habit was doomed to also last,
    I was used to every lying face
    telling me they had been in my place,
    I shook them off as what they were
    pity stories to keep them sure,
    I was getting sick of it all
    wishing that I could finally fall,
    soon things in my life were back to ash
    every thought in my mind was rash.
    For me there was no turning back
    everything bright was now a shade of black,
    I hid in the darkest places
    now hiding from the smiling faces,
    they thought things were ok
    I wish things were that way,
    but I had held onto my secret
    knowing that it would bring regret,
    still the sound of falling red tears
    had made me forget my fears.
    Months became years
    as I held onto my fears,
    though the flames were out I was the same
    yet no one tried to end this game,
    they let it go as if it was ment to be
    little did they know it was killing me,
    I soon felt full of shame
    I didn't know where I was to aim,
    soon I throw it all away
    but I know it will be back some day.
    Although we try and no matter what they say
    some of these scars will never go away,
    for the rest of my life I will see
    where sorrow and pain have led me,
    I knowI am not who I used to be
    my scars are something all can see,
    I am not perfect and I have my flaws
    likely knowing I am there cause,
    but I can say this out loud
    yes I have cut myself....But I am not proud.
