Carved the Word

Carved the word "fat" into my thigh,
I can not sleep, and so I cry.
The blood it seeps into my clothes,
When will I sleep; I do not know.
I took another dose of sleep,
From the bottle where I keep
Hidden magic for my head
It separates me from the dead.
Carved the word "gone" into my arm,
Every day I see the mark,
I know the scar will never leave,
But it's too late to stay for me.
Carved the word "fine" into my head,
Maybe I can convince my friends
That I'm not broken, just afraid
Not gone for good, just need a break
