Porcelain
Your hurt is something deeper
Asserting your dominance at all the wrong times
It's clear to me
The want is still there
A deep longing almost forgotten
I want to die
I don't want it if it doesn't hurt me
I can't go on sabotaging my life if it's hurting yours
I can't go on hurting myself if it hurts you
But how dare you put that pressure on me
I ask you, what is worth more, health or happiness?
I'm making cracks in myself, line after line, until one day I break
I need to make it clear to you
I'm holding onto nothing
And nothing doesn't last forever
I'm leaving my mark on myself
When will you learn to see what's not visible
