The Cutter

I watch the blood soak threw my sweater,
and oh how I feel so much better.

To the bathroom is where I went,
Didn't bother to give anyone a hint.

Belive me no way I want to die,
But cutting myself gives me an
unexplainable high!

This pain rips threw my heart,
But my kids and boyfriend I 
will not part.

Okay now some will say I'm just crazy,
or say "kill herself, no way she's to lazy"

I just want to watch it bleed,
I guess my depression needs to feed.

Right now I just can't smile,
Leave me be on the bathroom tile.

Don't tell me you understand
because I know you'll turn when
I reach for your hand.

Just let the blood soak threw me sweater,
Just give me 20 minutes so I can feel better.
