Is it real?

By DeathSentance

It started with an earring
Just a simple scrath
It didn't even hurt me
I couldn't just turn back
Cuts started getting deeper
And the blood hit the floor
Nobody ever noticed
My wrist was getting sore
Next I used a razor
And the skin peeled off and fell
Nobody ever noticed
I'd died and gone to hell
My body just got numb
I ran out of space on my arms
So then I sliced my stomach
Thinking there is no harm
My body started aching
My arms and legs were shaking
Now it's the lighters turn
You watch as I burn
There's a hole in my leg now
But what am I to do?
Just forget the pain?
The pain you submersed me to
I cut to see if I'm alive
To make sure I still bleed
You finally see the wounds
So you begin to plead
But it's to late in this game now
You can't give up now
Tonight I'm going to drown myself
I take my final bow

    It really sucks when the people around you don't see that you're falling apart and you think why did I have to go completely insane before you noticed I was drowning. Great write, JD

    no comments since 04 on this one/// but i hope you never drowned yourself... you can put it on paper instead of on your skin. and you shouldn't feel like people should know you are depressed/ maybe they are happy
