Death Behind the Mask and Knife

by awww   Dec 24, 2006


Yes, everyday you can see me smile
But what you dont see is my denial
Denying all the pain that I truly feel
Just trying to pretend it's not real

You believed all the lies I had said
That I'm tired and just going to bed
You didn't know what really went on
During the night and up until dawn

I have here a sharp blade with me
It's always kept where you can't see
So as I slowly pull it out at night
I'm careful to keep it out of sight

I held it with great ease and care
While making sure no one's there
To see me do such a frightful act
A motion with swift, deadly impact

That's how I expressed what I felt
The satisfaction just made me melt
Oh I love the burning sensation
I cant stop, it's such a temptation

The night goes on and I start to drift
I have given satan a wonderful gift
As I close my eyes, I smile again
Dreaming of what else could happen

The moon goes down, sun comes up
I see my reflection in the coffee cup
Staring at myself, I start to get ready
To put on a mask and keep it steady

Now I'm at school, everyone can see
My masked face that looks so happy
And yet again they think I'm smiling
Little did they know I'm already dying

    Wow, this poem almost made me cry, my best friend cuts, so it hit hard, I really liked how you put kind fury into the blade, kind of a hidden wall between the outside world and your own world whe you're alone. 100/100
