I used to carve lines into my skin and watch the blood spill outI used to cry myself to sleep and wake up more tired than when I went to bed
I used to rock back and forth on the bathroom floor waiting for somebody to notice how long I was in there
I used to take cold showers to remind myself I'm alive
I used to pray to god that he would let me die so I wouldn't have to hurt anymore
