Took the Knife Out Again

by yolande the dreamer   Nov 26, 2004


At lunch in the room
where everyone talks
i go with my "friends"
and we sit and throw rocks

for the first couple weeks
no one noticed a thing
till i was so deep
i could no longer sing

when we were inside
of the halls in the school
everyone said
"you're OK right"? you fools!!

if you watched me enough
you would've seen this one day
when i pulled the knife out
and started to play

i ran it very lightly
alongside my arm
then shut it very slowly
wasn't ready for self-harm

but suddenly i snapped
took the knife out again
the sharp end in my arm
all for my peace of mind

and then you, my fake friend
asked me "what on earth's wrong"?
i show you my arm
you don't care, not at all!!!
