How come it's okay
in this days society,
to drink the pain away
and not use a knife like me?

You think that I'm crazy
but you don’t understand.
I just wish that you could see,
why I do this with my hand.

The pain is within me
and needs to come out.
It does me no good,
to yell, scream or shout.

It seems so natural,
to reach for that knife.
I'm ending the pain,
I'm not ending my life.

But now I've learned my lesson,
these truths I should not share,
for when I tell my secrets
they're too much for you to bare.
