The gloomy thoughts and images I see in my head is scary
My eyes looks glossy, as my mind leave me feeling wary
The carpet starts to get crimson stains on it
Swollen eyes stares back at me watching me sit
Puffy cheeks flushed with a cherry red tint
But the eyes of my reflection held a dark glint
The sound of shattered glass shook me to the core
I could hear my heart beating as loud as a lions roar
Loud screams in my head keeps calling me a worthless bore
I start mumbling what they told me because I believe it was true
I start screaming and crying feeling as if I had lost some screw
Their taunting words pierce my heart making me feel blue
I could taste my despair as it filled the air
My salty tears were coming down my face like a flood, but I didn't care
Metallic taste filled my mouth until I realize I was biting my lips
I watch as my blood ran down my chin and fell on the floor with a sudden drip
Trying hard not to scream out loud, but their words are harmful like, a taste of poisonous sip
Punishing myself with lines was my own little personal whip
Leaving behind slashes, after slashes like a bloody horror short clip
The room reeked of dried blood and sweat
The bitter taste of the pills helped me to deal with my threats
Just thinking about them leaves a sour taste in my mouth
Drowning myself in the sweet chocolate bar and watched as my life head south
My fingers trace across the rough skin
Looking at it reminds me of an angel with a broken wing
Too emotional damaged, and only find comfort when the blade caress the body and leaves behind a familiar sting
The cold sharp blade silence the voices that urge me to confess my sins
But I can't feel the gentle touch on my wrist, which is so thin
Because I got too tired of crying, being in pain and feeling sad, so I watch as the darkness win
As my body shut down and went numb, I saw my reflection put on a dark grin
My vision got fuzzy as my world started to spin
I fell on a soft fluffy carpet that smelt like a bottle of gin
The last thing I thought is how no one asked me how I'd been.
