I Can Hold Out

Blood drips down my wrist

The pain is my escape

I bite down on my lip

As tears start to take shape

This is my life now

Putting up a wall

Blocking everyone out

Acting like I don't care at all

I want to scream and shout

I hate the way I've become

My insecurities defeated me

The cure? Seeing my blood run

I walk around school

Acting like I'm fine

I feel so on edge

Maybe this is my time

All it take is one jump

One cut, one rope

No more pressure

No need to cope

Something stops me

Everytime, someone saves me

The tiniest thing

Then I feel so free

It may not last long

But it makes me smile

I have some hope

I can hang on for a while :)

~Not mine, but this is amazingly true:) i love my friend because he always ends up stopping me and helping me ~
