Attempts
As I lie there with my arm full of blood
I'm crying from the pain I'm causing a flood
I smoke the cigarette & flick the bud.
I scream on the inside as I slice my arm
I'm causing myself lots of harm
Do you realize I'm not a charm?
Blood drips down my arm from the razor
At that moment my problems fade
When I lived in S.C. I was worked like i was a maid.
Cutting my arm felt so wrong
The reason for doing it is I wasn't strong
I've been doing it for so long.
I did it because I was being abused
My life is so confused
I'll always lose with the choices I choose.
