Creative Work 186
I cut myself again today
my parents have no idea,
no idea of how I feel
so they smile and walk on by
My face they see is happy
they don't know the half of it
for when I'm at home I put on act
and they fall for it every time
I don't feel safe at home
because I'm afraid of what I might do
I look forward to school as it keeps me safe
and free from what I might do
I don't like to self harm
but I can't cope anyother way
it's a way of getting me through and dealing with,
all the pain I feel inside that no body else can see
If my parents knew what would they say?
thats a chance I just can't take
for now at least it's my secret from them
and most of the human race
