Don't You Dare

How Dare You

Don't you dare call me "beautiful"

Until you see me at my weakness times

Until you see what carves my body

Until you see the scars that cover my once perfect soul

Don't you dare tell me in flawless

Until you've seen me break down

Until you have to hold me

Until you see this darkness that consumes me

Don't you dare call me lovely

Until I completely shut down because I swear you're like the rest

Until I pull away from you because you simply touched me

Until you can hear my screams for help

Don't you dare call me perfect

Until you've seen me

At 2 in the morning

With blood running down my legs

Tears running down my face

Don't you dare call me cute

Until you've see what lies beneath my twisted smile

Until you have seen what I can do to my body

Until you go under

DON'T YOU DARE

But,

If you've seen me in my dying hour

My hopeless moments

If you held me when all I wanted was death

When I was falling apart

If you've seen the scars that cover my body

The hopeless remarks

If you've seen my demons

And that doesn't change a thing

If you've seen the monster I can become

The one that rips her skin apart

Then maybe

Just maybe

I can believe you

But until then

It's all just lie

All just empty words
