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?
