I Won'T Cut My Wrists To Get Your Attention

I won’t cut my wrists to get your attention
I’m not like her
I don’t have to bribe you with my suffering
I’m perfectly sane
As sane as you can be when you live around these people
I won’t spend my time bent over a toilet to get your attention
I’m not like her
I don’t have to win you over with my looks
Though I already have
I’ve got personality
Which is more than I can say for her
