of all the things i've ever loved
you deserve it most,
and i am inadequate.
if drinking's a sin
and drugs are expensive
how am i to numb this?
i've never craved anesthesia
until tonight
school taught me about bones
but it never mentioned
how caged they would make me feel
i'm trapped in this body
restricted by the only thing that's truly mine
no one likes a broken mind
everyone pities the girl with scars
and i don't understand
why some are born happy
and others with a deathwish
and maybe i'm not meant
for this life
