These People

These people make me look
At all that I have done
To see into these shattered eyes
To see what I’ve become

These people make me look
At all these faded lines
To see each hidden scar
To see my crimson vines

These people make me look
At my broken life
To see all that I’ve messed up
To see all my pain and strife

These people make me look
At my hidden face
To see the constant tears
To see all of my disgrace

These people make me look
At all that I have hurt
To see what my reaction is
To see if I feel like dirt

These people make me look
At all my if’s and but’s
To see how much longer I can stand
To see if I will cut

I look at all these people
And tell them to look hard at me
I realized they showed me all my flaws
And now I must set my blood free

All because these people made me look
At each of my life’s mistakes
And now this blade leaves a bloody trail
As my broken life I will take
