When my dreams turned into nightmares When my nightmares finally came true; I indulged a sudden shock to my body I indulged what i should have prevented I wanted to feel what everyone feared I wanted to do what people dont do I tried to force myself to be strong, but that strength was my mind over my heart And my soul over my body I learned to appear in front of a mirror; blinded from the person i saw My fears werent leaving My anxiety kept rising My anger escalated My depression had me dying One day i turned & i snapped I explored & i had to act I wanted to change what changed me I wanted to hurt what was slowly killing me I ignored my hearts attention when i heard the knife calling I welcomed my minds whispers when the razors had me eyeballing I couldnt control I couldnt turn back My mind was in charge I couldnt fight back As i start to cry It was time to end my innocence inside The new thing i needed, was already planned It was my last resort It was my escape It was the love of my mind But the master to my heart And i was behind invisible bars Chained; locked inside my own body I couldnt go on feeling unsatisfied I couldnt go on feeling lonely & so i made friends with a knife, a razor, and scissors They taught me how to hurt Taught me how to bleed Taught me how to aim And taught me it wouldnt be easy It wasnt easy; they were right. But what they meant; It wouldnt be easy to turn back and fight. It was an addiction I loved the pain The pain was gone But there was darkness that still remained Everyday i would continue Self mutilation was the only answer The red lines on my body never faded I cut deep I cut deep in the past; & so i took the knife deep with me I cut deep in my nightmares; & so i took the razor deep with me I cut deep at my problems; & so i cut it all with the scissors There was no more pain, but i was bleeding I needed the pain, but i was blinded I loved the pain, but i was confused I always had the pain, because now im bruised. Inside was who i truly saw Inside was who i truly felt I have been played with, ****** with, Used And im the only one to blame for hurting myself
