A walk in my shoes

Come with me..
Take a walk in my shoes..
I want you to see,
What I go through...

In the morning I wake up
Promising myself it'll be a good day
But knowing inside
Things won't work this way

I do my hair and make-up
Trying to hide the ugliness
I know it doesn't help much
Everyone can see this..

I go to school and smile
Making up the perfect life
while my long sleeve shirt
Hides the comfort of the knife

I pretend I am confident
And have so many friends
But I'm alone in my room
Most weekends

I come home from school
And keep my door locked
Writing poem after poem
Of everything I'm not

I sleep through the afternoon
Wake up when everyone's gone to bed
And carve into my body
The words I left unsaid

I cry so much at night
Hating myself more and more
Wishing I wasn't me
As the blood continues to pour

I hate what I've become
And the scars covering my body
I hate the friends I don't have
Because I let the razor control me

Come with me..
Take a walk in my shoes..
I want you to see,
What I go through...
