The Truth Of Me

I don't understand
Why they all look at me
I'm not all that different
So what's there to see?

It can't be my eyes
For there's nothing behind them
It can't be my scars
Because they're covered again.

I hear them gossip
As they walk by
They're talking about me
And I know why.

They've heard all those stories
All the ones about me
About how I cut myself
And how I make myself bleed.

They say, "She's the one,
That girl that self-harms,
I would give anything,
To see her arm."

They never look in my eyes
For they are untrue
They hide all the stories
Of my youth.

I know none of them
Really care
They just stay around me
So they can gaze and stare.

I'm in a sea of people
But I'm always alone
No wonder why
I've become so cold.

All these people
Have torn me apart
These tears fall forever
Inside my broken heart.

Let me hide away
Everything I feel
Keep it bottled up
Behind lock and seal.

And now I'll leave
So you can talk some more
I'll go back to the blade
That I adore.
