The Pain Inside

by Kirsten Ferguson   Apr 28, 2005


I sit in my room
With nobody around
Nobody to hear me scream
Or to hold me as I cry
The reasons why I cry
Are even a mystery to me
I feel like I want to die
If only you would see
These tears are for you
Because I don't know what to do
I don't know if I should tell
I just know I can't
Because then you would tell
And I can't live with that
You would hate me forever
And then I would hate myself
But I already do hate myself
Because I just sit by
And let him hurt you
I don't tell anyone the things he does to you
I wish I had the strength to tell
But I don't
So I sit here alone
Crying in the dark
Wishing I knew what to do
Wishing I wasn't so confused
I only want to help you
But I can't
So I look around
And spot my razor
Sitting there on the counter
Calling to me
I cut myself because it hurt
It hurt on the outside
And took away the pain inside
I hurt myself outside
I did it again inside
But neither time did you see
When really that's all I need
I need you to see my pain
So you can make it go away
So I don't have to hide away
Alone in my room
With nobody around
Nobody to hear me scream
Or to hold me as I cry
