how do i tell you
i'm so drained,
i feel so numb most of the time,
it no longer hurts—the stinging pain,
that's why i tell you,
i don't mind you hurting me,
just do whatever you please
and just let me be,
the sting and cut,
i no longer mind,
for someone who's used to getting hurt,
i'll always answer you "i'm fine."
