A thousand one. A thousand two.

I tried to fight but now I'm through.

A thousand three. A thousand four.

I can't keep fighting anymore.

A thousand five. A thousand six.

There's too many scars and flaws to fix.

A thousand seven. A thousand eight.

I'm breaking under all the hate.

A thousand nine. A thousand ten.

Every day I wake up it begins again.

A thousand eleven. A thousand twelve.

Further into my depression I delve.

A thousand thirteen. A thousand fourteen.

I wonder how many of my cuts can be seen.

A thousand fifteen. A thousand sixteen.

My silent tears reveal a saddened sheen.

A thousand seventeen. A thousand eighteen.

Why must the world be so mean?

A thousand nineteen. A thousand twenty.

I'm only counting the seconds till I give up.
