Those Days
Tear soaked eyes
Trembling hands
Slit wrists
Bloddy razors
My night
The dark deep abyss that is my mind
The voices keep me awake at night
They fight with one antoher
Begging me to stay up with their fued
So as they decide to bring back memories of all kinds
For every word they seem to speak come 10 more trembling tears
For every minute they scream and fight come another section of soaked pillow
For every minute of crying comes a new slit within my wrist
The deeper and deeper they go to follow my abyss
Blood shot eyes
Pink cheeks
Blod dripping wrists
and blody towels
This is my night
The confusion and anger
The sadness and despair
I'm tied down, unable to escape from the huge steal chains
They call it relapse
Going a month without the deep and burdend marks
But is it relapse if your knuckles are bloody from the things you've punched?
Or the bruises you didnt intend to inflict on your fragile and tender skin?
Or the smoke inhailed by the stress and depressed teen?
Or maybe the alcohol downed because she was alone and alcohol was her only friend?
Is it really relapse?
People saying being happy is a choice
How am i going to choose to be happy when it feels as if I am buried under a collapased building
When trying to get up in the morings the reasons to stay in bed out number the reasons to get out
And while looking at pill bottles, the voices try and ease me in
To end the pain I inflict to others
The reasons to down the pills and end my life become too strong
So I look to my blades
And the next day I'm alone again fighting the voices from within
Wearing fake smile and hopeful laughs
