Breaking Free
I try to cut the pain away
But the blood is not enough
I pierce the layer that I see
The one underneath’s too tough
I hoped the damage that I did
Would make me feel ok
Though after all the blood had dried
The pain wouldn’t go away
Although it hurt I couldn’t cry
Cutting deeper still
The pain inside just wouldn’t die
But I’m the one it killed
And now I’m gone
Finally free
I took the pain away with me
I had to go because it stayed
And now my pain has gone away
