copper plating

and iron bones

steel heart

or was it maybe gold?

untouched mind

self esteem intact

body loved

feel no impact

unfortunately the words I construe

are evidently untrue

I still feel

I still see

my heart still beats

but now it bleeds

the shades seem to be broken

my eyes take in

vision goes hectic

but don't worry thats just the tears making an exit

but hey my ears still work

I guess there's something to say for that

oh but wait a second

they're picking up a broken track

you're ugly

you suck

you nerd

adds in a curse word

well I can always count on feel

no?

yeah, I guess I never could

the words have always been there

have always made me feel

no, not in a good way

in a way that won't let me heal

I guess I shouldn't feel

and I guess I shouldn't see

and try not to hear the sounds

that the monsters scream at me

I'll just go be me

in that little corner there

I'll just be me

and be numb for Eternity
