I was so young barley double digits All I needed was a hug To be told everything would be ok Nothing seemed ok I was changing Everyone was changing I stopped worrying about if my bike tires had air Instead I started worrying about my hair Why were people staring I worried about what was wrong with me Why was I like this too loud Too sensitive Too different I needed a hug But I picked up the blade I need to feel something I wanted the pain I was 10 when the lines began I was just a child Barley double digits Who reached for the blade Instead of reaching for some help

Barely double digits
I was so young barley double digits All I needed was a hug To be told everything would be ok Nothing seemed ok I was changing Everyone was changing I stopped worrying about if my bike tires had air Instead I started worrying about my hair Why were people staring I worried about what was wrong with me Why was I like this too loud Too sensitive Too different I needed a hug But I picked up the blade I need to feel something I wanted the pain I was 10 when the lines began I was just a child Barley double digits Who reached for the blade Instead of reaching for some help
