The shouting drifts up the stairs,
I'm the only one left, awake.
My siblings are completely oblivious,
To the disagreements had every night.
I fumble for my iPod,
Desperate to shut them off.
With my loud rock music, blaring,
In my ears to make me deaf.
I am left to myself,
To think about my life.
Then let out my emotion,
Try'n' to blank tauntings of the knife.
I ignore the tears that fall,
My mind goes blank and blurry.
Then I grab my closest blade,
And drag it through my skin very slowly.
The blood stains my sheets,
The wounds bear no current pain.
But I know they'll hurt in the morning,
When I remember all over again.
I close my eyes and wonder,
What I'm doing still alive.
The shit and pain I'm constantly feeling,
Surprised I haven't yet gone overdrive.
That's when I thought of you,
You're my light that shines through rain.
You're my reason to keep on going,
To wade through all my pain.
