A stranger

I look in the mirror and I no longer recognize my face
Run my hands along my arms unfamiliar scars I trace
Tears pour so silently from my eyes as I stare and stare
Looking at my face, A completely different person stands there

Dark shadows around the eyes, from constant sleepless nights
Nervous jumpy movements from all those frights
Blood trickles out of the pages of the book I'm reading
It takes a while to realize that I'm the one who is bleeding

Talking to myself as the darkness swallows me
Remembering who I once was, who I used to be
Asking for forgiveness for what I have become
Looking for a way, To finally unblock the sun

Searching for this cure, That I do not belive exists
A way to stop me hurting, and stop me slitting my wrists
Close my eyes and float away from the sadness and the pain
As I stumble and I fall, I slash up my arms again
