Nothing Matters
Copyright, Anonymous
I'm sick of always being alone
Sick of living in this home
I don't have anywhere else to go
Nobody can ever know
What I do when things get tough
When my best isn't good enough
I can't cry so I go in my room
This pain will be lessened soon
I grab a razor from my hiding place
And run my hand across my face
I find an empty patch of skin
I take a breath and press it in.
Blood flows instead of tears
I forget my mom and all those beers
I forget my dad and what he said
I forget that I wanted to be dead.
Just an emptiness that won't go away
The best part of my whole day.
I smile to myself and proudly say
Nothing matters, I made things okay.
