Dream

37. No One Cares

Hide your bloody arms
Pull your sleeves over the fresh scars
Put some glue on that shattered heart
Cover up the fact that you're falling apart
Wash away the crimson beads dripping down the red marks,
It would be better if they weren't so large,
At least then you wouldn't have to hide them in the dark
Keep your distance,
But don't go too far,
They might suspect something,
Might realize that your perfect skin is in fact grotesquely marred,
That underneath your cool expression,
All emotion is charred
Burned,
And ready to discard
Hide the pain you feel,
The sensation that with every word you speak,
Your life is crashing to shards
Cover up the reality,
That the person beneath the happy mask is suicidal
Don't let anyone see,
Because all they'll do is take advantage of you,
Rip out any profit they can find in your broken body
The truth is,
There isn't anybody who gives a damn
Nobody who really understands
And no matter how much you cry on their gleaming marble
No matter,
How many cuts you make,
You're nothing but another blood splatter,
Another messy, sad, accident
One that will soon be erased by the societal janitor
When you show emotion,
It's just a weakness
You're walking into a snare,
A trap called life that will leave you crippled or dead,
It isn't fair,
But the truth I've realized,
Is that no one fucking cares.
