People are tip toeing around me, I am a bomb waiting to go off. Unstable, One false move and I will blow. Disappointment, That's my new name as I succeed nothing. I am on a park bench, I blew up, I killed all those I love. I sit as a tear falls down my cheek, I sob in silence hoping that someone will find me, I need help, no one responds to my cry, They walk past me ask me how I am, "I'm not fine" I don't say, Instead I say, "It's nothing" Tonight I run home. Steam fogs up the window as I run a warm bath, I cry out for help but no one can hear me, I explode. I bring the razor to my wrist, There is no pain as I am numb, Blood runs into the bath, I scream for help but no one comes, One more cut on the other wrist, 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, Then I see nothing.

Time Bomb
People are tip toeing around me, I am a bomb waiting to go off. Unstable, One false move and I will blow. Disappointment, That's my new name as I succeed nothing. I am on a park bench, I blew up, I killed all those I love. I sit as a tear falls down my cheek, I sob in silence hoping that someone will find me, I need help, no one responds to my cry, They walk past me ask me how I am, "I'm not fine" I don't say, Instead I say, "It's nothing" Tonight I run home. Steam fogs up the window as I run a warm bath, I cry out for help but no one can hear me, I explode. I bring the razor to my wrist, There is no pain as I am numb, Blood runs into the bath, I scream for help but no one comes, One more cut on the other wrist, 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, Then I see nothing.
