She's cutting her outsides
All the water is coming out of her eyes like an awful tide.
Damn, she must've felt low
But, sshh no one needs to know!
There's this girl who laughs a lot
Tying her sadness inside; like a knot
She doesn't like looking in the mirror
The person staring back is too ugly
"Don't be such a weirdo" "Get over it", her friends say
She nods with a fake smile and goes home to slit her wrists,"this is the only way"
"I shouldn't eat" she mutters to herself
Stepping on the scale, "so many numbers...I'll fucking kill myself"
She breaks another pencil sharpener
Takes out the blade
And feels a sweet release after the trade
"I'm going to the roof for some fresh air" she tells her mom
Lies..
All the pain seems to be escaping her wet eyes
She stands on the boundary wall
From this view, the world seems so small
She had a genuine smile this time
All the sadness in her mind crumpled up into grime.
She pulls her sleeves and scratches against her bright red lines
"Bleed! Fucking Bleed!"
Her eyes emitting greed!
With a desperate sigh she takes a final leap
"GOOD BYE, WORLD!"...she's now forever asleep..
