the people i trusted

I cut my wrist and slit my arms
you hurt me deep and I can't stop
There's nothing you can do to make it better
it just gets worse with every word
Maybe I'll end it all now
Maybe I'll wait till tomorrow
Mom and dad try to help
But it's too late
Be kind to my little brothers
Don't harm them like you did me
you will pay for all the pain you've caused
God sees me trying to hold on to what little faith I have left
There's a reward I seek
It's relief from pain and bullying
Yeah I'm smart but you don't have to trash my stuff
You steal my answers and take my credit
then you lock me shut with threats on my life
Maybe I'll make it easy for you this time
I'll bare my neck and let you slash it
that's what you want right
total surrender
If I die I'll see you later
cause you gonna wish to God you weren't a hater
Yeah that's right I know your plans
God loves me and others like me
just cause you hate me don't mean every one else does
Your smart remarks remind me of all my failures
But lemme tell you something you have no Idea about who you're messing with
Yeah I may release my pain with a knife
But it's you I feel sorry for
You have to belittle others to make you feel good
you're not just hurting me
You're hurting yourself more
so yeah maybe I'll let you win
so much for a raging victory
You'll have to settle for my suicide
Maybe...................
If that's what I decide
If not you better watch your back
Karma is a boomerang
It'll be you next time
