No Longer Care
If my jar of tears is full,
Does that mean I won’t cry anymore?
If I’m already broken in a million pieces,
Does that mean I can no longer break?
If I stick the knife far enough in,
Will I become numb to the pain?
If I bleed until I bleed out,
Does that mean they can no longer hurt me?
If my ears become deaf to their words,
Will I never again have them scar me?
If my skin continues to grow thicker,
Will one day I no longer care?
And if I no longer care,
Does that mean I’ll survive?
