she lies within herself
wishing the death metal
would drown out her thoughts.
she hides behind a smile,
while at night she finds the solution
to her tears at the bottom of a whiskey bottle.
they think she wears the beads and bangles
so she can follow along with the crowd,
when all you need to do is look at her wrists
and you’ll see why she really does.
she pops her pills and smokes her pot
to dull the pain of the memories of you.
she has a secret stash of razorblades
hidden away so you cant take them,
so when her pills aren’t enough
she watches the crimson beads
roll down her hand.
she finds her solutions at
the bottom of a whiskey bottle.
