I cut you to make sure I bleed.

This blood to bleed.

The blood that runs as well as ice

Through cold frozen veins

 

Because I am...

 

I smile and laugh when expected

I show pain in my face and actions

When all I feel is numbness

 

Because I am...

 

Thoughts of suicide

Simply a fantasy of a blissful delusion

 

Because I am...

 

I won't kill myself

I want to know how being satisfied feels before I die

 

Because I am...

 

Motivated by boredom

Never truly satisfied with anything

But I sure can fake it.

 

My path is...

 

Because I am...
