You think you have control
But I am the one who has it
You do not, not in the least bit
I make you cry because if I don't then people wonder why
You thought you were loved but now you're lost
I took over you mind and that was your cost
You are so blind; people have told you, but you didn't listen
Now I laugh because your eyes don't even glisten
I am the reason you cannot sleep
I am pain that hurts so bad
But you are in too deep
You never knew what you had you looked to see
Now you're the person you're not wanting to be
I am the reason why you can't love
Because you don't know what's up above
You love me and no one else
I took your life away
On that very first day
I still have control; I am your confession
You sold your soul to me
Which led you into deep depression
You'll never be free
Because you belong to me
I long for you to relapse
As I push you down until you collapse
I am the reason you can't look people in the eyes
Because I make you wear a disguise
I keep you locked in a cage
Which causes you to have a deep rage
I made you feel unaware, and I really don't care
I am all you fear
Which causes you all these tears
I am always right, so you think
I make you so scared you cannot blink
I took away all your trust
Made it so you could only lust
I don't care how you feel
Because, between you and me, you will never heal
I tear you down inside, which all you can do is deny
I knew you would come to me on the day of your birth
I took all you were ever worth
You think you are okay, but I have something to say
You thought you were bold
Now you're sitting here crying, wondering why I am so cold
I took you away from all your youth
I also made it so you could never tell the truth
I am the reason that causes you death
I sneak upon and take your last breath
Can you guess who I am?
I am your beloved razor blade.

PoetryIsn't it odd how we can know human nature well enough to write poems that move others to tears yet must hear the words of others to cry alone?
