Pain Needs Expression

I know I shouldn’t care what they say or think maybe I’ll wear black today make no eye contact bound by our family tree no warm and fuzzy place where every sad song is talking to me telling me I am a mess urging me to confess the same broken record is playing though I shed not a tear I strive to disappear pain needs expression red slowly seeps I cut my hollowed soul aches for I am nothing special I have to stop swallowing hard I draw the sharp edge deeper trying to reach my broken heart
