Random Thoughts

When you ask me if I’m tired I always reply yes

But I’m not the kind of tired you assume I am

I’m tired of people

Of school

Of home

Of life in general

And I always look back on that day when I’m alone

That day that meant absolutely nothing to you

But meant absolutely everything to me

I tell my parents I have friends but I don’t really

I only have acquaintances

People I like to call hi and bye pals

People who I wouldn’t invite to my house

But I wouldn’t want them to die either

And is it bad that I cringe every time I see an orange sock

Because my orange sock is the one I hide my blades in

I’m not talking about roller blades

I’m talking about little tiny kitchen knives

I use to cut my skin like a scissor cuts paper

I’ve been clean for a month

But that will never change the fact that every time I see an orange sock

I think about it all day long

And when I get home I look in my draw and find my orange sock

I open it up

I think about how great it would feel to slide a blade across my skin

Just one more time I tell myself

But I never do

Cause for some unknown reason I think about you

Not about you caring cause you don’t

But about you

And for some stupid fucking reason

It helps me
