For years, I've doubted myself,
Questioned my sanity
Was it another story I've made up in my head?
Needing pain to feel
Hurting,
Scratching,
Tearing skin to see
Hey, look at me
Look at how broken I am
Stare at the cracks in my skin
Can you see?
When I smile,
Can you see?
When I laugh,
Can you hear?
The strain in my voice
The lights dying out
The screams stuck in my throat
The heavy feeling in my chest
When crimson tears trickle down
Can you see?
Look at me, please
Help me
