Silence

Why is it OK to degrade?
Vulgar words used to slay
"Bitch, slut whore," when I never spread my legs

Who are you to judge?

The scars on my wrist are a sign
"Suicidal cutter" "she's ready to die"
"She's ending her life with every line"
"Oh god, look at her thighs"

"What a attention seeker"
"She can't even cut in a straight line can't end her life right"
Well this is my life

"Stupid girl"
"She doesn't even understand what she's been gave"
"A beautiful life no weakness, just strength"

"Her life can't be that hard you say"
"Just put a smile on your face"
"She'll get through it, she'll be OK"
"Just leave her in silence
With her thoughts and pain"
I promise... you won't see her the next day.
