everyone sees your smile
as you walk through life
only few notice the white lines on your limbs
from when you held the knife
it gets easier, time helps you heal
but some things never disappear
and no matter how happy you feel
there are still days when all you can hear
is the world singing you a song so rough
the guilt and the voices in your head
telling you you're not good enough
so you skip dinner and have a cigarette
or two instead
