They're hidden deep
My scars within
I wish I could just go to sleep
and never wake up
All I can do is weep
thin red ribbons on my wrists
but there is more to me than that
My scars are within
they are shown to no one
not even my friends
the pain I have
is forever engraved in my skin
not only on my wrists
but there are scars within
no one knows
maybe no one cares
my hurt never shows
my fake smile permanently affixed
but when I'm all alone
the tears come
I take the blade
and my body goes numb
making red ribbons
sinking deep into my skin
these are the scars that show
different from scars hidden within
the depth of my pain
shows there inside
I'm standing out in the rain
shut out from the world
and all its unhappiness
and out here on my own
I don't have to pretend to be happy
