Slitting The Pain Away

by dhara   May 14, 2005


Silently but loudly I scream with fear
I am disguised as this perfect girl
“I wish they knew the real me,” I say as I shed a tear
It makes me sick to my stomach and I just want to hurl

Everyday when I come home daddy’s on a business trip
Mom just doesn’t give a shit
I pretend I don’t give a flip
And just go into my room and give myself another slit

Sometimes this pain can’t be handled right
I know its not right but still I take the knife and slit this pain away
I try not to do it, but I can’t stop the fight
I really wish he could stay...

This makes it worse
The one I truly loved has left and abandoned me
I must be put under an evil curse
I’d do anything to be with him again, even beg on one knee...

No one knows about these hidden scars though
For I am the perfect girl...who will grow up and have the perfect life
One day soon they’ll all know
I’ll leave them a letter telling them everything and that surely I wouldn’t have been the prefect wife

They think I live this oh so perfect life
When really it’s all just a perfect lie
It doesn’t matter anymore, nothing does for soon I’ll take this knife
And lay there until I die
