She started to write songs.
Because she was quite musical.
And the tunes hid the words.
Masked the truth like her smile masked her scars and her misery.
They had titles.
'Last Night, Just Another Cut, Dreams of Death, All the Ways to Die.'
'Neco Me, Darkness, Incompetence, Deity, Stardust, Breaking.'
('Neco Me' translates as 'I Am Killing Myself' in Latin.)
