You don't know, so know you know

Changing me into something I'm not.
Anticipating, sweaty and hot.
I know when the steel hits the vain.
Gone will be my misery and pain.

Alone in my bubble I reside.
I swim in the sea on a warm wave in the tide.
As the drug pours in I feel the warmth on my skin.
She holds me so near, alleviating my fear.

As I peel the layers back to once again regain my soul.
Loosing my heat, taking its toll
My bubble has burst, on the horizon a sunrise.
My entire family looks back at me, full of despise.

"If you don't like what you see then just look away"
"It's all because of you that I live in so much pain everyday"
"The reason I stab up my arms with needles everyday"
"Is because of my youth and how I was raised"

When I told you I was hurt, you just looked away.
The rest of my days I held my head down in shame.
I cried out for help, but you were to drunk all the time.
So now you complain watching my life slowly unwind.
Where were you then, when I needed u most.
now you can look tracked arms
And pray for my ghost
