Pain Beneath My Skin
The feeling of being alone never goes away
The pain inside always seems to stay
I cover it with a smile
When I am hurt all the while
This feeling is deep inside
It’s the only one I really hide
I want to let it disappear
It would be like letting go of fear
I ask myself how can this be
This isn’t me
But when I look further in
I can see it beneath my skin
The feeling of being hallow
That’s when it is hard to swallow
It’s such an easy word suicide
But really what can I decide
The ending of my life
With only just a knife
Would be the best way to go
Only so many don’t think so
I have made my decision
This will be the only incision
Right above my wrist
The blood flows away in a bloody mist
I watch it until my vision fades
And I drop my blades
Finally my eyes close and that’s all I see
This is my final glee to be free
