swimming in a sea of questions
and none of them seeming remotely intelligent
why did you do it?
what were you thinking?
I know they mean well
but still, to me
they exude idiocy
and I know they couldn't understand
The scars on my wrists
and on my legs
weren't really planned
I just had to do it
so I try to ignore them
and not let them notice
what they couldn't understand
or help with anyway
But what of myself?
I can't hide from me
So I simply try to stop
and what saves me is my music
blaring my emotions
through my stereo
or with my guitar
or drumsticks
and when even that doesn't work
just let it happen
let it go
and try again next time
