I am a horrible person I am a horrible person I am a horrible person They hate the way I look They say my eyes are too light And my lips are too dark I am a horrible person I am a horrible person I am a horrible person They say they hate the way I talk And the way I dress My shirt is too strippy And my pants are too light My voice is too low And then it’s too high I am a horrible person I am a horrible person I am a horrible person A kid told me I read too often And I write too much I laugh at everything And I talk too bleak Too many apologies Too many tears Another fake smile to hide away my fears I am a horrible person I am a horrible person I am a horrible person Lipstick stains my favorite attire My eyeliner thickens And my clothes go from pretty pinks and vivid purples to dusk and foggy green I am a horrible person I am a horrible person I am a horrible person My eyes begin fading color They tear up And my lip starts to tremble My heart beats faster The colors from my deepest dreams withdraw I am a horrible person I am a horrible person I am a horrible person I hold my breath I steady the blade Oh my agony I breathe in and my eyes cringe A silent scream I am a horrible person I am a horrible person I am a horrible person The thoughts are back again I wonder how it’ll go down How it’ll look The smell The sounds How people will be sympathetic But no one really cares Have you noticed how people only care When you are six feet underground I am a Horrible Person I am a horrible person I am a horrible person I begin to fear the world Putting myself in the obscurity And behind locked doors For they are out to get me I begin to abhor everyone I’ve ever known Who am I Have I not made it clear I am a horrible person I am a horrible person I am a horrible person Magic markers tattoo me And show it where to aim I draw lines on each ****** wrist Hoping he won’t see The nothing I say When they ask what I’m thinking about He thinks I’m cute But little does he know The worlds out to get him too He notices the slashes Covering each arm From my forearm to my wrists I am covered in red lines I am a horrible person I am a horrible person I am a horrible person Ignore my slashes For one day you will understand Don’t worry your pretty little head I’ll be fine someday I am a horrible person I am a horrible person I am a horrible person A hundred times the doctors say I am okay I am okay I am not okay I am a horrible person I am a horrible person I am a horrible person I wonder what it’ll be like a world without him It’s hard to picture because he doesn’t know But I love him And I am sorry that I could never bring myself to tell him How could he love a bitter soul like me For I am just a horrible person I am a horrible person I am a horrible person I want to tell him that I am trying I am trying But I am not trying
