Reality
Daddy left you for dead
Mamma says its all in your head
But the suffering is more than what they know
So you just slit your skin and not let it show
You let boys play with your heart
And rip your world apart
Your friends say you are only stressed
But in reality you are very depressed
You burn the fresh cuts to stop infection
And you do everything without protection
Tears fall from your eyes
As you murmur your final goodbyes
Your life was taken by a knife
Cause you were always a lowlife
People may think this path is immoral
But in this world, this is now normal.
The harsh truth is the monster inside the minds of a teenager
Are ignored and for some reason failing a class is a bigger danger
This is our reality
And it is nothing but brutality
