You Think You Know Me...

by FountainsOfBlood   Jan 26, 2008


Dear friends of mine...
You think you know me.

I show you my wrists
Everyday
Yet the lines now are too faint
For you to see the scars.

(You still don't know
How many people I have lost)

And all the times
I was in the hospital,
I would never tell you why.

You assume you know all the abuse.
Really, darling,
That "twice" isn't even a tenth.

(I cry myself to sleep
And you wonder why I don't eat?)

I didn't even tell you I was suicidal,
I knew the reaction.
Remember Art?

(Medication that you had no clue
Death around me that you never knew.)

You didn't know the two
I loved... and lost
Or bothered to find out.

I outcasted myself
All those years
For a reason
You just haven't thought of it yet.

Why do I never let you talk to that one girl?
She knows everything
And you know nothing.

The fear of the secrets
Being unveiled to you.
The horror of you knowing...
Unthinkable!

But I am better now.
There is no need for you to know
The past, the truth, why I'm me.
Just listen to what I say...
I'll always be ok
