Lies a self harmer...

by Samantha Jayneee   Aug 14, 2005


Under the lipstick smile and short skirt
Lies a dark and dangerous girl with makeup smeared down her beaten and bruised cheeks.
Under the planet that she lives in
Lies a world that has fallen apart in front of her eyes.
Under the fake grin and confident voice
Lies and insecure young person.
Under the \"I promise I am fine\"\'s
Lies a girl that has never been loved and never experienced happiness.
Under the quiet teenager
Lies a girl shaking in her boots and silently screaming.
Under the clear skies and setting sun
Lies and endless stretch of darkness slowly drowning this girl in pain.
Under the lies which she tells her friends
Lies the bare truth which she cannot tell a sole.
Under the perfect attitude and neat clothes
Lies a small, weak body, too fragile to be touched, too deeply broken to be mended.
Under the dreams which she should be having
Lies a girl that only knows of nightmares.
Under the life she lives each day
Lies a girl wishing to be dead.
Under the concealer and foundation
Lies cuts and scars, horrid memories of the past, a constant reminder of what the future holds.
Under the chatter with her friends
Lies a girl who wants to take the blade and cut her wrists - just to ease her pain.
Under her supposed friends
Lies a girl trusted by no-one,
Not ever herself.
Under the bracelets and jewelery
Lies cut up skin, purple from the bruises and red from the blood.
Under the layers of warm clothes
Lies a girl who feels the bitter cold so much that it almost numbs her pain and makes her forget.
Under the smiles and laughter
Lies a girl who feels permanent hurt.
Under her slim stomach and small wrists
Lies a girl scared to eat.
Under the bubble of happiness
Lies so many crimson tears.
Under the girl of peace
Lies the angel of death and self harm.
Under the calmness
Lies a girl ready to break ever more at any second.

Under the girl everyone thinks they know so well
Lies a different person,
A lonely young girl,
A self harmer,
A girl who wants to be who she really is

But she cant.
