An Ordinary Day

January 15, 2013
By Anonymous

Surrounded
yet all alone.
Smiles so warm
eyes so cold.
Heartless laughter
floods my mind.
But you'll never know
how much i cried
i step away
you think you've won
but you'll soon see the damage
that you have begun
skin is cut
scars are raised
blood is flowing
the pain i cave
you in my head
the blade goes deeper
forcing you out
i feel so freer
there in the dark
peacefully alone
me with a blade
is my true home.
