late at night you can hear them clear
the voices in me
saying that you need to fear.

clean up the mess
they said
and you need to hurry.

you have a knife in your hand
and you hide it rapidly
you didn't want them to worry.

you're writing your story
this is only the first page
don't let them win
we all want you to stay safe.

what have you done darling?
you're hurting yourself.
