Pain

I'm tired, but I can't sleep.
I'm hungry, but I can't eat.
I'm cold, but I can't get warm.

I'm in pain, but I can't stop it.

The pain is my drug
Seeping into me
Soaking my bones
In strange freshness
The deeper the cut
The more potent the drug
I can't sleep alone
Unless I cut deep
Letting the blood run
Drip onto my pillow
Turning it over
To hide the red stain
Razor blades in corners
Shoved away, hidden
Masking the truth
Under a happy facade
Takes more than a glance
To notice the scars
But they're there
When you look closely

Never trusted, never told
Just let the pain come
Try to save my own life
Before I can save theirs.
