Trust Yourself

I can picture that smile so clear
How you just can't keep that grin
Off your face
How delighted you'd be to know
How good your heart would feel
To have details of the case
Can hardly contain emotion
As you hope that I don't notice
But I silently observe
You listen so intently
Encourage some more venting
Get your thrills from seeing me hurt
Exploit a human weakness
So you can collect the pieces
Make me good and whole
Too bad I'd never let you see
What's going on at core of me
Or what I look like when vulnerable
Existing in empty voids
Is more appealing than your ploys
It's not a fucking mystery
Don't need reminders of your stance
Have no desire to take the chance
This will be forever concealed misery
I am so very thankful
That I've never needed anyone
And that I'll be fine no matter the threat
This heart can beat rhythmic pain
And shoot me with sharp blades
I'll find a way to repair my chest
I'm happy to be alone
I can bleed on my own
I've gotten good at cleaning up blood
Yes I could almost drown
But I always come back around
I do not fear the flood
It's funny how in the end
The only real friend
That you ever need is you
It's a bit sad I know
But it's the best way to go
When you want to trust in something true
