Too long I sat in the dark,
Blood red tears trickling down a broken smile,
How long would I have to hold my breath?
Waiting for you to notice my pain,
Wake up,
From these nightmares,
Don't forget to wear your mask,
So people don't see your true feelings,
Not dying; not yet,
The scars stain my heart,
Ashamed I try to cover them up,
In desperation I hide from your judgmental eyes,
You don't care; you are looking for another story,
To tell you friends,
how you saved me,
An outlet,
The emotional pain,
Scars, ugly shining through my act,
The injuries torturing my soul,
A last resort,
I slit the skin,
The last drop of blood falls from my flesh,
And with it the pain,
Would I ever feel like this again?
Could I live through it?
Not again,
Not if it meant I would feel like this
