Don't worry, I'm okay, nothing is wrong with me, this was written by me to a friend who I care about a lot who is in a lot of pain. The only thing I can do for her is help her to feel any other emotion other than sadness, so I hope to move her with something beautiful, I hope you enjoy~

My body is my canvas

I play myself like a violin

The marks that I make

Always seem too thin

The deeper they are

The better they feel

But I'm left with ugly scars

And no way to heal

My body is my canvas

And I'm painting my scars

My body is my instrument

My sound; morbid guitars

The more I do it

The less I feel alive

Just throw me in the ocean

And to my death I'll dive

My tune is so soulful

Yet my body is empty

I don't understand

This treacherous beauty

This is how I escape

How I solve everything

I wear my scars on my sleeve

And let the pain begin

When will my heart escape

From pain's sweet progression

My body is my canvas

And they call this depression.
