I can't remember

Who am I pretending to be?

The perfect daughter?

The happy friend?

The mature teenager?

The last one holds shades of honesty

I'm mature

But too mature

You can see it

In my tired eyes

I've seen too much

To ever be normal

Too much blood

I've seen the inside of my wrist

Nightmares

In the middle of the day

I have a gap between

My cut up thighs

A gap between

Me and my generation

A gap where

My skin should be

I'm full of holes

From your gun

I've been playing Russian Roulette

And it's pointed at myself

My bullets are hidden

In the food I don't eat

In the silent glares

In the empty pencil sharpener

Can anyone see me?

Or are they staring through me?

Questionable Content

A label to sum up

The mess I am

Girls covered in scars

They're hiding behind locked doors

Like someone else I know

For once

She didn't slap my book shut

And hand me a pass to guidance

She examined my work

She saw the art

And accepted the terrors

That's not my only content

I've stepped out of my own pages

Or maybe I put myself into them

My arms are written on

In a dead language

My bones peek through my paper skin

My pain is tattooed in my veins

You can't take the demon from me

We're the same entity

The same monster

All my "friends" should run

And find out what their running from

First

They run from my ideas

My anger and pain

My depression

They're lucky
