Drink and cut

Running to escape
to find complete peace
being set free from the reminders
of the years spent crying
denying the underlying problem
of all the time you spent
wishing you were dying
hoping someone will hear
praying that your peaceful
end is near
every sip you take
is less time spent to think
every little sliver that you make
just takes you farther away
this is where you long to be
alone with your bottle in hand
yes this will make your dreams come true
well you wanted to be in a band didn't you?
pretending your happy
cause that's what your suppose to do
this is what is expected of you
so plaster the fake smile
answer the questions politely
"yes ma'am, I'm happy"
