• Darkness surrounds me
    I find myself in a pit of shame and regret
    My mind pity's me
    For the thoughts that arise aren't always for the faint at heart
    My mask peals off my face
    Showing the scars of everything I've repressed
    The marks and bruises that have never healed
    And this is only the surface
    This is only the start to the damage that has been done unto me
    Can't you see the glass shards that seems to stick out of my sides
    Don't you hear the taunting screams of the ghosts in my past
    No
    Of course you don't
    Because you haven't had to pick up my broken pieces before
    Can you even attempt
    Will the sight of my crying in hysterics throw you off guard
    Could my nails, digging into my skin, make you want to back off
    Muttering the words that scream in my head incoherently
    That I'm stupid and worthless and all I do is hurt everyone around me
    That I'm hated and weak and deserve every bad thing that happens to me
    I'm not crazy
    Or perhaps I am
    I'm only a product of neglect and humiliation
    And repressing everything is the only way I can seem okay
    But the question I ask is this
    When I dive into the pit of despair
    When I'm curling into myself, wishing that I wasn't born
    When you see me smashing my head into the thick walls just to make it all end for a little
    Will you be able to handle it
    Or will you leave me just like the rest
    Because I'm praying to God that you'll catch me when I fall
