MY FAMILY
They've seen my cuts
They've seen my pain
But all they did was look awayThey saw my mask
They believed my lies
they never thought to ask
About the cuts along my thighsDon't they hear my cries at night?
Or see my sleepless eyesDon't they care that I don't eat?
Or about the secrets that I keep?They don't see my battle scars
Or the blood all on my sheetsThey don't see my cracking mask
Or the demons reaching outTo take my very soul
And everything that I know.They tell how much they care
About their precious little daughterBut if my Family really cared
My demons wouldn't exist
In the first place.
