everyone thinks i'm doing okay
"your scars are gone!" they happily say
"yeah" i reply with a quiet smile
they were gone for a little while
little do you know, i'm actually worse
everything that happens to me just hurts
i fake a smile and put on a show
just so no one has to know
the demons inside me are attacking my mind
screaming fights going on and they're far from kind
the cuts i make are my only escape
releasing me from the words of hate
i know it looks like my scars are gone, but think
maybe i've just gotten better at hiding them
