Battle Scars

Insanity

Battle scars, I wear them on my wrist

I swear I'm not worth the risk

My life is not worth my time

That's why I always say "I'm fine"

Cause I don't want my friends to feel down

I always put on a huge frown

See, I don't care about me

But I love my friends tremendously

Depression is such a funny thing

Trust me, it truly does sting

I did not ask for this at all

It feels like you're falling down a wall

Without a latter to keep you stable

That's why you're always amiable

Cause you don't have it effortless

You mainly stay highly stressed

There is so much wrong with me

I wish I could finally be free

As free as a butterfly, fluttering its wings

That's why I write these useless things

To write my feelings down on paper

Like I'm jumping off a skyscraper

There are many ways to self-harm

Some prefer it on their arm

Razor vs. skin could cut too deep

But maybe it would be like a long sleep

And then maybe I will truly feel happiness

And be able to escape this loneliness

Because here, on Earth, people cause pain

But mainly, it's our faults we are all insane
