Hear Me

Tears slide down my cheeks,
Without uttering a sound.
My pain has come to surface,
My pain can now be found.

I've spent so long repressing,
All the hurt I feel inside.
Choosing instead to deflect,
My room is where I hide.

Staring down at the blade,
My one and only way out.
I'm ready to show the world,
The world will hear my shout.

I slit, I cut, I bleed,
The gashes begin to grow.
They're tokens of my sorrow,
The cuts I'll have to show.

They don't see me clearly,
This is the real me.
By releasing all my anguish,
I'll finally make them see.
