Is It Real Now?

It's just a
Game
Teasing
Among friends
Cruel words
Laughed off

In the excuse
Of just kidding
It's not real
You say
It's what friends
Do

Then I don't
Want any part
Of it

Is it real now?
That red lines
Dance on
My wrist as
A stage

Is it real now?
Now a hood
Hides my
Face

Your friends
Hurt me
And you as well
You stand by
Your harem
Insults me

Your hair
Is flat
You're too pale
Too tall
Too fat

Do you not
Think
That I point
These flaws
Out each
Morning?

Is it real now?
Your
Words adorn
My skin in
Bandages of
Flesh

Is it real now?
You can
See my wounds

Why do you
Turn away?
Are you
Ashamed
To be seen
With someone
As broken as
Me?

Will you
Cry
When you
Find me?

With your
Words in
My skin?

Will you
Cry
When you
Lose me?
To words
You never
Helped
Me unhear?

Will you
Remember
Me?
Or will I
Fade to
Time?

Is it real now?
