I Need To Cut

I wanted everyone to understand How hard it is to give up on The one thing that's makes you feel better I hate how they all say it's wrong But I guess the idea of self-harm Is unthinkable for people who've never been there So they yell and shout saying it's selfish And we run off cos we think they don't care If only they knew how much we bleed How we cry ourselves to sleep And the only way we can take our mind of it Is to cut, and cut deep Pull my sleeves down to cover the scars Wallow in guilt in shame that it's gone this far If only somebody had hugged me and said they loved me But that's not the way people are I guess it's hard for them to see And parents feel they failed us somehow It's easier for them to shout To cover the guilt they feel now The sad thing is so many kids End up feeling cutting is the only way It's a solution, if only temporary Because for a few seconds, every thing's okay And if there were a better choice Some other way to make myself feel good I'd take it, grab it with both hands People who cut are so misunderstood My friends never remember Jack Like he's a subject only on TV Other kids have other reasons But it's lack of Jack that's got me!
