waking up in the
middle of the night,
looking at my skin
looks like i've been
through i fight,
fresh blood soaks
through my p.j's
and unto my bed,
I sigh knowing
that i'm running
out of skin med,
my alarm clock
beeps,
I take a leep,
into the shower,
hot water burns
my skin,
i'm done and get out,
I look for cloths
that would cover my scars,
if you saw it
you would think i'm
from mars,
I sigh once again knowing
I wont tell my dear friend,
cause this is my
deep dark secret.
