What's this?
She asks,
Turning to them

It's called friends
They say
Go and talk to them

Why did they ignore me?
She asks
Feeling emptiness inside

Because they don't need you
They say
And they don't want you

What's this feel inside?
She asks
Clutching her chest

That's loneliness
They answer
That feeling will never leave

What's this?
She asks
Holding a razor

That's an paintbrush
And your arm is the canvas
They answer

She paints a beautiful picture
On her arm
With vibrant red streaks

Why did they make fun of my art?
She asks
Hiding her arms with a jacket

Because they don't understand
They don't know know
They answer

What's this?
She asks
Holding a knife

That...
They stop and think
That belongs in your heart

She nods
Plunging the knife into her heart
Making vibrant red steaks on the ground

Shriveling up
Nothing more
than a husk

Where do I go now?
She asks
Looking around

Teach others the lesson
We taught you
They answer

She turns
And sees a small boy sitting alone
Perfect
