tired of hurting

 

I have a good friend

Who is silver and shines

It pierces my skin

And draws the red lines

 

It leaves several scars

Over the years

But it lets out my screams

As well as my fears

 

It gives me relief

I need the sensation

But I keep it a secret

I hate the attention

 

Those perfect red lines

They become such a burden

But I do it anyway

Because i\'m tired of hurting

 

Some call me psycho

But I know they\'re all wrong

 

I don\'t know what to do

I don\'t know where I belong

 

 I hide the scars

Under jackets and sleeves

My loved ones don\'t know

The cuts stay unseen

 

I try to act fine

So no one will know

But sometimes Islip

And the cracks begin to show
