Why?

Hurt...

By A. Y.Published 9 years ago • 1 min read

What if they put a razor to their skin?

She wears long sleeves to cover up her scars.

The words said are like bullets that are embedded in the skin.

She cries her self to sleep while contemplating on saying goodbye?

People laugh in her face, but haven't even tried to step in her place.

She wishes to be perfect she says it's not fair.

"I've smiled and smiled to hide the pain."

The smile that is put forth isn't real.

She's smiled so much she doesn't know how to smile for real.

Anxiety, depression...

They laugh and engage.

If it was them who got hurt, would they care then?
