One day I felt down, alone and lost,
There was nobody, people just didn't know,
You came along and you made my world a better place,
I knew you were special, I knew I could trust you,
But, the thing was, you weren't who you made out to be,
You were liar!
I couldn't open myself up,
You make me feel angry
Next time I know that people aren't who they seem,
I know to think: can I trust the people I know
After all, the world is a cruel place!

To say you would always be there,
To say you would always give me advise,
To say I believed I could open myself up,
It is all a lie!

To think you were real,
To think you told me the truth,
To think you wouldn't think bad of me,
It was all a lie!

You made me feel better,
You made me feel like someone was there,
You made me feel special,
It was all a lie!

You now make me feel worthless,
You don't realise what you have done,
You just acted normally,
You're just a big lie!

I slipped up.
I slit cuts.
I didn't mean to.
I drew blood.

I read online
When I was probably just 14 or 15 years old
That most people don't stop until their 20's
And it scared me
But I thought
"No, I'll stop right now"

But I didn't.
I couldn't.

I slipped up.
I slit cuts.
I didn't mean to.
I drew blood.

And now that I'm older
It hurts more to try to hide it
And now that I have people that care about me
Often times they don't understand why this part of my life is still relevant
And all I can say to make them understand is

I slipped up.
I slit cuts.
I just had to.
I drew blood.

U are not real
so clearly
U can be a
fantasy
in my mind
U exceed all
logic and
comprehension
U shake me
to my core
and challenge
my normal
thinking style
U exploit my
****** sensibility
and
social awareness
U are my
PHAN TACY
U are not real
as I continue to
tell myself
Hoping that
U will vanish
like smoke in
a blowing wind.

— The End —
