Pretty Lies
All the pretty lies
That fill my brain
All the pretty lies telling me
I’m insane
So i take a blade to my arm
Then wear hospital socks to hide the scars
Disassociate as to not raise alarm
All the pretty lies you fed
Telling me I’m better off
Dead
All the pretty lies
you thought me
Told me me can harm me
So i let him in my bed
In my head
Father words
Telling me not to fight
So i laughed
And giggled
And sent him pictures
He then used to get me to vape
Momma doesn’t know
i used to use
All the nights she
used to ask why I’m so tired
All the nights she asked about
“That new bruise”
The one that came from you punching me
All the lies you fed
Are the reason
I will be dead.
