A String of Guilt

The surface is covered 
Guilt and string from another 
And just like when you sleep to hard 
You've got surface marks 
And these are selfish scars 
But They don't fade over the time of the day 
From the morning to the night of shade 
These scars are an indent forever 
Stupid remarks people thinking their clever 
They don't leave us
Never 
She said I make her want to slit her throat 
I nearly chocked, these words are notes 
Jotted down in my head
When insecurity comes its food to be fed 
No more tears can be shed 
 you to that voice in my head 
Over and over I read 
The word id written onto my leg 
With that blood so red
There's been genuine times I've wanted to be dead 
My whole brain went silent
Feet were failing me 
Heart was beating mad 
It ended with a and e 
And on my life 
Right next to me 
was an old man 
And he was fighting to be 
Gasping to life 
Fighting for his breath 
And I'm in my cubicle 
Mums crying as I rest 
So I stand here now 
I'll say it with my chest 
I ing hate life 
But I can't choose my ing death
