Let Me Be

i burned myself today
to make sure i could feel
to remind myself through pain
that truly, i am real

i cut myself last night
and watched the blood drip down
the crimson tears fell from my arms
and ruined the perfect ground

i took some pills the other day
because i didn't want to live
i'm ready to be taken
i've nothing left to give

i'm crying at the moment
but these tears are not for me
these tears are for the voices
who will not let me be
