You like the pain It keeps you alive, doesn't it But you've always wondered why Maybe it all started when you were a little girl Beaten and whipped by the man you wished your mother never married You thought he loved you and was just scolding you for your mistakes It wasn't until your mother filed papers for child abuse against him when you realized what happened Back then you were scared and confused Still a little girl Maybe it started when you were forced against that wall Taken against your will and losing your innocence Although your mental innocence had been lost long before But then you realized what that man did was bad, although you kept quiet about it Back then you less scared but more confused Not a little girl anymore Maybe it was when you had your heart broken for the first time The pain in your chest was so tight it felt like someone reached inside you and grabbed your organs and just squeezed You cried so much until your tear ducts ran dry But then you realized that you were scared of the pain, so you did everything to please someone just so they wouldn't hurt you Back then you were terrified but no longer confused Slowly growing up Maybe it was when you first put the blade to your wrists Watched the blood drip down your pale skin and just smiled through it You didn't cry, you were silent about it But then you realized you enjoyed this pain, and continued to do it until your wrists were covered in ugly scars Now you're feeling emotionless, a stone statue on the outside But you're still a scared little girl on the inside And it's true I'm ******* terrified
