It's not all in your head
It's all around you
Coming out of peoples mouths
The things they say, that's what leaves the scars you see on their wrists
"Sticks and stones may break my bones but words will never hurt me",
that's the biggest ******* lie I have ever heard
Words do hurt, they ****
I would rather be hit and punched and kicked and beaten down everyday,
than have to sit there and listen to what people say
The words are forever edged into your brain,
they leave their marks
You can never forget them
They are always there
Waiting for you
Haunting you
They **** you from the inside out and nobody sees until it's too late
They are there to convince you that you are not good enough
That you will always be a failure
You will never get better
You will forever be broken
Words do hurt
They are like bullets right to the heart
So stop your words before they **** someone
I see you
Faking that smile you have perfected and made it your art
But that smile never reaches your eyes,
eyes that are dark and clouded with pain
Come on over here love
You can cry on my shoulder if you need
I don't mind,
I will listen to what ever you have to say
When you sad and down
Just remember ***
I am here for you
I love you and care for you deeply
So come into my arms
I will hold you through the night,
till you wake in the morning with a smile on your face
These feeling won't last forever
I will be here with you to the end
Because, love
You are the lightness to my dark word
You might not know it
But you mean more to me than my own life,
which I would give for you in a heartbeat
All I ask is that you will be there for me when I need you most,
just like I have been here for you all this time.

Right now, someone is standing alone
with nothing but their scars left to remind them that they're alive.
Wondering how life can turn from a dream to a nightmare in the blink of an eye.

Right now, someone is standing on the edge of an abyss,
with nothing left to lose.
Wondering if they can remember what life was like
when they knew what happiness was.

Right now, someone is standing at the grave of their sanity
with nothing to be heard but the voices in their head.
Wondering if the ground really is as comfortable as they say it is.

Right now, someone is standing on the shore of a sea of people
with nothing to be worried about, except for everything.
Wondering what will set them off this time.

Right now, I'm standing here with nothing left to lose except my scars and my sanity
worrying about nothing, except for everything
waiting for something to push me over the edge.
Wondering if this is how it ends.

— The End —
