hey okay... my parents are trying really hard to understand me... which is a good thing i guess... so i was thinkin maybe i could show them a poem...
*I'll Show You Me*
With this razor
In my hand
I'm trying to make you
Understand
All the pain
That you can't see
And all the pain
Locked up in me
What you don't know
Is how it feels
But I know that
This pain is real
These memories are still there
Everywhere I look
I try to stop
Reading into it
But I can't shut the book
Trying to set
All this pain free
I imagine my wrist
But it's my heart that bleeds
So with this razor
In my heart
I begin to fall apart
I break down
And start to cry
I don't really
Want to die
I'm so scared
For my life
And I'm so scarred
From his knife
Scars in my heart
But it's on the mend
I'm smiling on the outside
But I'm breaking down again
Trying to hide
All of it from you
Trying to be perfect
But if only you knew
Look Mommy!
Look what I can do!
I can be loving
Just like you!
I love myself
Can't you tell
I'm healing now
I'm doing well
I'm trying to show you
Who I can be
Everything within me
And I know that you can see
I'll show Daddy
And he'll finally love me for me
I'll show him
And he too will see
I'm still the girl
I was at one time
I just keep it hidden
Deep down inside
I'm no longer suicidal
Though the thought has crossed my mind
I'm starting to move forward
Leaving all of it behind
I won't change
Who I am
Though you want me to
I am who
I want to be
And I'm still shiney and new
You will find my heart
I promise
I'll show you the way
And even though
You hurt me
I love you
Anyway
