Whisper for help *Trigger warning*
My arm is a mess of blood and scars
My arm is a mess of wounds and lost wars
Done to prove this is real and not a bad dream
To control this pain and quiet my internal scream
Hardly one heals before another one bleeds
All done to satisfy my selfish minds needs
Not wanting to live but not wanting to die
Wanting to jump but afraid she will fly
Leaving her to wonder why
Crafting a mask of lie upon lie
Wearing long sleeves throughout all the seasons
Remaining quiet when asked for her reasons
Horrified and terrified that sometimes she dares to hope
Someone will notice and care enough to say nope
To take the blade out of my hand
To listen and to understand
To help me be strong enough to once again stand
And lead me out of this no man's land
But she doesn't blame anyone
Because she never asks for help
Hiding her hurt and hiding her tears
Behind a solid rock wall of impenetrable fears
She's walking alone down life's well beaten path
In the dark, tripping and stumbling to avoid their wrath
And so she danced with death and he left for a little
But then she woke up in a hospital
My arm is a mess of wounds and lost wars
Done to prove this is real and not a bad dream
To control this pain and quiet my internal scream
Hardly one heals before another one bleeds
All done to satisfy my selfish minds needs
Not wanting to live but not wanting to die
Wanting to jump but afraid she will fly
Leaving her to wonder why
Crafting a mask of lie upon lie
Wearing long sleeves throughout all the seasons
Remaining quiet when asked for her reasons
Horrified and terrified that sometimes she dares to hope
Someone will notice and care enough to say nope
To take the blade out of my hand
To listen and to understand
To help me be strong enough to once again stand
And lead me out of this no man's land
But she doesn't blame anyone
Because she never asks for help
Hiding her hurt and hiding her tears
Behind a solid rock wall of impenetrable fears
She's walking alone down life's well beaten path
In the dark, tripping and stumbling to avoid their wrath
And so she danced with death and he left for a little
But then she woke up in a hospital
