Free

I see the blade open up my skin, 

I see the blood, a deep red,

seep from somewhere within.

hearing the demon’s cheer from inside my head.


They all say i'd be better off dead,

as i take in a shaky breath,

the waters a deep bloody red,

as i smile at the thought of death.


my heart drops to the floor,

as i realize i've won the game,

i've beaten death again once more,

and i'll go through tomorrow just the same.


I just want to say goodbye,

i want to be free,

i don't want to live this lie,

i don't want to be me.
