You think no ones watching

So you bite your lip to keep from screaming

This pain won’t go away

These urges keep pounding on my door

You think you know me but what secrets do I hide

This river of red is all I have

Go away I’m not dieing

This is me trying

All you see is the bleeding

Not what’s screaming on the inside

Who are you to judge when don’t understand what I am

Keep your labels to yourself

I’m just fine the way I am

When you sit and tell me stop

All I think is you’re in the not

Leave me here in the dark

And let this old soul spark
