Fleeing fearlessly through my faults
Intense insecurities evade my thoughts
The mirror bears the reflection
Of flesh I wish too not see
The person residing in my skin
Is not who I want to be
Avoid opening my eyes
Relentlessly trying to hide
The demons spewing up from inside
The old me is gone
She has died
A heart that once burned
Has now turned cold
Emotionless
Like a stone
Betrayed by day
Lost at night
A lonely life to live
Is a life lived in spite
Someone you loved
Whom you thought you knew
Didn't hesitate
At the chance of hurting you
Shattered and broken
Old wounds, reopened
Defenseless against depression
Mental regression
Overwhelming aggression
Feel the burn
Feed the fire
Sink into the bliss
Of your sick desire
A slash or gash
The pain won't last
And when all this has passed
Free you will be at last
So she slits her wrist
Smiles, and enjoys it
As the blood pours out
She listens to the sound
Of her blood
Quenching the thirsty ground
They found her body
With a note
Inside were the words she wrote
I'm at peace, don't you see?
For the longest time I hated me
Chemically I altered my chemistry
I am my own worst enemy.
Fighting a war in my head
With monsters that were once under my bed
I kept trying to fight
But now I give in
This is the story
Of letting your demons win.
