Behind The Fake Smiles

Darkness

Darkness is all that I see
You tell me it'll get better
It's just a phase
You'll get over it
But you don't get it
The colors have faded
So did my emotions
Life used to be colorful
Now all I see is black and white
You don't understand how much pain does it take someone
To bring a blade
A lighter
To rip our skin apart
You tell us to stop it
But you don't understand that it's a way of coping for us
They call us
Freaks
Attention whores
But If we did it for attention
Why wouldn't we show our scars
Our battle wounds ?
Why would we hide them
With long sleeved shirts
Why wear long pants
When we can show them
But we don't
Because we're scared of your
Judgmental thoughts
