You walk an empty street
The sound of you shoes hitting the pavement
Echoes all around you
You used to walk with friends
But you chose to walk alone

Your face tightens
as the sharp blade of your knife hits your arm
You refused help when people offered
And you chose to walk alone

People look down on you
Because of the way you are
They say it’s just a quite scream
But to you it just relieves pain

Your friends all left because you inflicted pain
You had blood stains on your carpet
They say they wouldn’t be surprised
If you killed yourself tonight

The air around you is cold
And your fingers are frozen from the chill
But you still wrap them
Around the handle of that knife

You cut your arm once again
You say this is the last
But then you parents piss you off
And you cut again

Refuse once more the help offered
As you swipe the blade
Acting as though it doesn’t hurt
But you keep cutting relentlessly

Tell me why should you walk alone
When so many people want to help
They offer yet you refuse
Slashing at your arm

You finally run for help
But it seems to be to late
Everyone has turned their backs
And their hands are no longer there
