Closing the Door

by Lithium   Jan 23, 2005


A beating heart from within,
Is a pain I feel which only I can see,
What I'm doing is pure sin,
If only everyone could see the real me,

Inside I'm screaming while on the out I smile,
People pass bye thinking she’s a normal teen,
No matter how far I walk one k or one mile,
Not a person will realize what they've just seen,

I could always give into temptation,
Drag that knife across my wrist,
Deeper and deeper until all that’s left is devastation,
Yet a part of me wishes the vein I'll miss,

I could keep on living, turn my life around,
Find the beauty in front of my eyes,
Listen to the world’s sweet sounds,
Lye on the grass and stair at the blue sky,

With these thoughts running through my mind,
I drop the jagged knife onto the floor,
Go outside looking at what happiness I will find,
And then on my long dark life I close the door.
