Too Large
February 25, 2013
Painting my eyes
Putting on my disguise
Trying not to cry
As rough fabric rubs along
Just fresh cuts
Still stinging in pain
I can’t help it
I slice into myself again
Pulling down long sleeves
Even through it’s close to 90 degrees
Numb once more
I suck up the tears with a sigh
The weight of it all is pushing down
Down on my heart
This is too much for me to handle
Life’s become too large
Too complicated
I can’t take it
Wish I didn’t have to be here
But too scared to leave
I live in my own personal hell
Day in and day out
I put on an act
A fake smile
A show
No one knows
Knows the pain
The suffering
The escape
No one gets it
No one gets me
