When I Cried

The tears fall slowly,

Down my pale white cheeks,

Slowly one by one,

The tears mix with the red,

As they fall on my bloody wrists,

I can't help but feel relieved,

As I release the pain,

That I hold inside.

The next night,

More tears fall,

As I drag that knife,

Against my skin,

For the millionth time.

I continue to cry,

As I look in the mirror,

The person I see,

Is not who I want to be,

"Will I ever be perfect?",

Everyday I am reminded,

That I will never be good enough,

I am just a waste of space,

Why am I still here,

I am a disgrace.

I greet death tonight,

An invitation long overdue,

But you won't miss me,

Why would you,

Because you never care about me,

When I cried.
