They think that I am someone
Who thinks the way I don’t
I tried not to mislead them
But it was inevitable  
I know I can explain it
I know I have the words
But do I want to say?
Do I want to tell them?
To let them know
I’m not the one they think I am
The one who thinks the way I don’t
I don’t have such a wish
I don’t crave for death
But how do I tell them?
How do I let them know?
That it is not I who desires death
It is the one I write about
The one who, no matter how many times
she kills herself, she comes back still
yet weaker,
and full of hate
and misery
waiting for the moment when she can finally rest
when she can drop the blade
and be free from it’s torment
when I no longer describe her mutilations
and her encounters with rock bottom

But soft, what light through yonder window break. It is the east, and Juliet is the sun...
