It’s a wonder you can’t see the blood
Running from the wounds in my heart.
It’s amazing that there isn’t a scar
From the words you so venomously impart.
I wish I knew how to make you see
Exactly what you do to me.

Sixteen is old enough to know
Those words spoken in anger aren’t true.
But I still think, just two years,
I get out of here, I get away from you.
I hate it when we fight all night,
And in the shower next morning, I start to cry.

There’s a hurt little girl,
I keep her hidden deep inside.
Maybe you’ll catch a glimpse of her,
If you shut your mouth and open your eyes.

I know a mother’s love is strong,
And I know it lasts forever.
But why am I feeling so suddenly awkward,
When we’re alone together?
My friends tell me that it’s okay,
But they don’t know you, do they?

You roll your eyes when I talk about him,
And say how much I love him.
You say scathing things that slice oh so deep,
But I keep the hurts and aches hidden.
I go to my room, listen to music too loud,
So you can’t hear as my hurt slowly leaks out.

The little girl is so scared,
The one I hide inside.
There’s only one way to help her,
Shut your mouth and open your eyes.

It’s a sad, terrible thing
When a girl yearns to run away.
When she’d rather walk around in the dark,
Than be at home where it should be safe.
I need you, Mom, need you to decide,
To shut your mouth and open your eyes.

I'm the literary equivalent of a Big Mac and Fries.

you know im always here, you know how to contact me. this was an incredible work. very sad and emotional. i like that. but just think that things can hurt. but so much beaty can show through from these moments. and i think this captures some of that beauty.

I loved this, and i'm here too, because i've been there. Just e-mail me at [email protected] if you ever wanna talk

So no more hiding all your pain, you deserve a new start. That's why i'm closing myself away, this is a message from your heart.
