When you look at me
you would never know th pain i go through
when you see me in the hallway
im always smiling
cause what would the kids think if they really knew the truth
the truth that when i come home at night
i bring out the scissors and the matches
watch the blood drip down my leg
and the puss from the burns ooze out
it hurts like hell but i just cant stop
then i cry myself to sleep
feeling the pain under the covers
i have to do it on my ankles and knees or people will notice
people could still notice now but no one has taken the time to
care
so when i wake up in the morning
i put a smile on my face
so people will never notice
or find out the truth
which i learned so well to hide.
