Slit your wrists,

cut your thighs,

fake a smile,

dry your eyes, 

don't let them see the pain in your heart,

of the despair on the outside.

They like to see you cry,

beat down also,

but don't hide,

keep your head held high,

show them that they are wrong,

And that you are alright.

Prove that your stronger,

And that you can fight.

We all have demons,

and yours are inside.

So now you can show these wounds tonight.
