Verbal Homicide

by Michael Mercado   Feb 14, 2012


If GOD didn't wake me up tomorrow I'd be the happiest kid alive
Because at times, it's seems like he purposely ignored my cries
And it made me start to realize, maybe he didn't listen
So everything I presumed real, suddenly became a fiction

If he didn't care, I'd give him a reason
Stainless steal across my wrist only led to endless bleeding
The bleeding leads to people asking questions
Scars on my arm will teach you my life lessons

What could it be? Maybe it was the pressure
Coming home to two parents always giving the same lecture
On how you wouldn't be shit, never amount to anything
Sticks and stone may break my bones but these words can be so menacing

Maybe it was the school, from all the endless teasing
Bullies would think it didn't phase me since I laughed it off while we were leaving
Until I got home, I took those words to heart
No more space on my arms I didn't know where to start

So I'll try something new, I'll just get the belt
This pain couldn't amount to all this hatred that I've felt
And as i tighten it up, 1 notch 2 notch
Suddenly everything became black, no more time on the clock.
