Stop and start

Wake up early

Only to go to bed again

Go to school

only to come back

Put the hood over your head

The music in your ears

Ignore what they say

Ignore the thoughts in your head

But how?

When they grow louder and louder

Every time you don't reach for

That blade

Or that knife

Those pills

Or that drink

Those cigarettes

Or that blunt

How do you ignore something

That gets louder when you

Don't do what it tells you

How do you stop

When it's the only way

You can start
