Huddled Crying Masses
Bodies fallen to the floor Here's the world i live in The world behind closed doors We each have our own secret Yet a secret we all share The pain of life made manifest In bruises and pulled hair And some, they have gone farther Than anyone cares to see Drowning in the river Of blood we've each set free This place, it makes us sisters This place, it makes us friends This place, it's constant torture Our problems never end A common man may glimpse upon The problems that we face But never would he journey to Set foot upon this place The place where tears are halted By the slicing of this skin The place where we're all desperate Use a razor, needle, pin No matter what we try to do We still cannot escape And others will not reach their hand For fear that it would break Depression is our master here With daily sacrifice Of blood and anger pouring forth Self-hate, a deadly vice Though lonely as we tend to be Our secrets make us one Together we can overcome This hate before we're done Yet the blood we spill wont hurt us Nor the bruises nor the pain For we are all strong women Our courage far from plain Yes I know i am strong enough To hurt myself again This most vicious of all cycles We will never see the end |
