Red crimson tears
Flowing down my arm
Another scar to try and explain
Another cut to blow off
My life is crashing down around me
Do you hear it?
The screams of another lost battle
They send chills down your spine
My mind is racing
This addiction is winning
How much longer can I last?
These scars never fade away
They add up, day by day
Will anyone even guess?
Will they mock and balk?
Do they even know how much this is killing me?
These scars, they frighten me
Am I this out of control?
Will I ever stop?
How many people know?
These questions race through my head
Another cut, another burn
This addiction has taken over
It's winning, I see no end in sight
The razors taunt me, daring me to go on
I remember the promises I made
Forgotten during the turmoil
I can't tell anyone of this, I has to be a sercret
No more short sleeves, I have to keep these wounds hidden
What would they say?
Would they forgive me?
Will they just walk away, it's what I'm used to
I'll just retreat into my shell
Put on this mask and keep my blood letting a secret
I've lost again

It's a little unfinished... And rather rough.

great interp
good luck in the contest -
really well written. Im having alot of trouble lately with people guessing and stuff...also I have to go to a dance and wear a dress...no sleaves of course and foundation only fades them. So Im pretty much f**ked but anyway this write is well written and for once, made me stop and read it instead of scrolling down and clicking on random like I normally done. Well done u got my attention and made me read. real awesome. good luck in the contest and good luck on stopping....or trying...and I hope you never have to much trouble hiding wat u have done.

Thanks. It took me like 5 minutes to write and I personally think it's crap but others think not. I'm sorry about that. I haven't stopped yet but I'm trying my damnedest.

I have successfully stopped for good and I can't wait for you to have stopped with me, so I will never give up on you or ever let you fall to far. I'm always here for you even when I'm far away. Always and forever.
Peace & Love
