Slice by Slice, Peace by Piece

Depression eats away my sanity
As the knife looks better each day
Stealing what's left of my soul
A pain that never really goes away
The blood boils in my veins
Just waiting to be set free
The blade shines in the darkness
Its addictions calling out to me
A tears falls down my face
The ache, the burning desire
Like acid falling down my body
Setting the rest of me on fire
The pain becomes unbearable
Wanting more to give in
Take away my sobriety
As I open up my frail skin
Watch the crimson tears fall
Still not easing the pain
Dig a little more deeper
Explore till I find the vein
Watch the blood flow
To this addiction I become lost
Scars that may never heal
I must pay this cost
All my common sense gone
The depression never fully leaves
And in those moments
My self-harm is conceived
Questions with no answers
Just bounce around in my head
My once pale pure skin
Now a crimson shade of red
Bitter, cruel, ruthless
I've been called many names
But no one sees the scars
How I live in my shame
Lies to cover up the sin
The truth is overrated
If only the world really knew
How much of my life is hated
Rid myself of the world
Yeah, its crossed my mind
But everyone tells me
"It will get better just give it time"
Feeding me lies everyday
Not all wounds will heal
Who are they to judge
With how I choose to deal
Trying to find my answers
My depression still won't cease
Taking away my sanity
Slice by slice, peace by piece...
