she cuts and bleeds to fell the pain

she cuts and bleeds, it leaves a stain

she cuts and bleeds everyday

she cuts and bleeds because she cannot say

say what she needs, what she wants

if she does it will cost

cost a price too high to pay

all because she cannot say

what she wants

she doesn’t want to pay

if you’re wondering about the price

it is her soul, her dignity,

everything she holds

people will laugh

what will they think?

“let’s send her to a shrink”

they will say

no, that can’t happen

so she cuts away

cuts away her dreams

cuts away her fears

cuts away everything

no more tears

come from her eyes

you want to know why?

because she died

died from the pain

it drove her insane

died from you, died from me

died from everything she couldn’t be

died from the laughter of all those kids

died because she didn’t “fit in”
