Twinkle twinkle on the sharp blade Oh all the cuts you have now made The rivers run red, down the drain The shower is on, where I remain Crying sometimes, but mostly I sustain As I open my dastardly veins It stings like a ***** and that's the point Man, I wish I could sit, try a joint But that'd be easy don't you know? This is all just god's ******* show We are all shadows of who we really are Some hide because it's easier, others scar Dressing ourselves as someone we're just not To impress people we don't like a lot And people who have the most greed Are often the ones who will lead What's my problem? Well I will show you all the long list I'm on the brim, look, these lines of why I slit my wrist Wish I had cancer, or something grand At least then people would understand The pain that goes throughout my brain A grain of empathy, disdain I'm done now, this is the last time I pick up the blade, do the crime As my life drains out, you walk in Now you care, I die with a grin I've done it, the big great escape You're no hero, not even a cape
With a recent relapse, I have chosen to immortalize my view of the experience of depression.
