Leave Me Alone

You don't understand how you hurt me

You're saying things that make me think

I'm getting so scared in my own head

I don't even think it's safe

 

My skin is marked with razor kisses

My heart is scratched with pain

I'm acting out in this terrible madness

And I can't stop myself

 

Because you've hurt me

And you've shamed me

Making fun of things I can't help

Torturing me for no reason

 

I'm scared to be alone with myself

I'm afraid things might get worse

I'm stuck with these thoughts

And the reminders shaped like scars
