I cut
I cry
I starve
I try
Tears constantly pool
At the bottom of my eyes
"The cat did it"
"Its okay, i'm fine."
Nothing is below my sweater paws
Other than the scars left
As the blade cut me with it's jaws
Battle wounds I inflicted upon myself
With more wars I fight
Deeper the knives shall delve.
It's not a mask
It's my face
I learnt to contort
And learnt to hate
As you ask whats the matter
Though you can't relate
I smile saying I am okay
But I really want to escape.
