This one has a repeated truth in it, just it says the entire thing, instead of just hinting at it like the others do.

I have something to tell you

But please just don't get mad

The things I have to say

They are pretty bad

The truth is I have cut

My left wrist and my shins

I thought that I was done

But I just did it again

I promised I wouldn't keep secrets from you

I promised I wouldn't lie

So here's the truth, I have to tell

It's hard to explain why

The first time was because I was done

Constantly treated like trash

They pushed me around and yelled at me

For getting water from the tap

I'm not allowed to cry

Or yell, or even get mad

They blame me for everything

And that just makes me sad

I'd lost all hope and given up

I still remain that way

And That's the way that it will stay

Until my special day

The day that I become 18

They day I get to move

That's the day I'll be happy again

When I've got nothing left to prove
