Laughing because I can't feel anything else.

Every time something happens to me

that makes me sad, angry, or anything

I just laugh, smile a lot

because the feelings I should be feeling are lost

and I can't even feel pain anymore,

a feeling that was one of my favorites

and now can only be drawn from blood.

I cut because I can't feel anything else

and when you can't feel anything

you forget what's most important to you

and you don't care what happens

as long as you can do anything

to make yourself feel just a little better.

I wish I could tell my parents all this

but they could never understand me.

They believe in god and shit,

that god created everyone in a perfect way,

that I'm still their little fucking kid

but look at me now.

Do I look like an innocent little kid?

Or maybe a teenager whose fucked in the head.

I like the second choice better.

You think you know everything about me

but you still can't read my mind

so you don't know shit about me

and I'm never letting you in.

I don't know what to fucking do anymore.

My parents can't help me,

I won't tell my friends anything,

fuck therapists they don't know shit,

so no one can help me

because I can't trust anyone with my mind

fearing they'd think I'm insane or something,

which I probably am.

My parents don't let me do shit

and I can't even see my own goddamn friends.

It's stupid as shit cuz they don't even know

how much my friends help me through my life

and now I can't do anything about anything

except lay in my bed twiddling my thumbs

and hoping that some fucking miracle kills me

and all the while just smiling and laughing

because I can't feel anything else.
