Array ( [sid] => 60592 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => Do You Know How This Feels? [time] => 2004-08-18 15:10:32 [hometext] => I like this...I just found it yesterday. I guess I wrote it a long time ago. I'm not quite sure it's getting the point I want across though...(And fyi, NO, despite that last stanza, I'm NOT suggesting you cut yourself! It's just to illustrate a point.) [bodytext] => Do you know how it feels,
to wake up everyday and
hope to God she's still alive?
Do you know how it feels
to lie to your best friend?
To tell her those are only cat scratches
on your arm?
Do you know how hard it is,
hugging your arms to your side;
praying no one notices?

Do you know those thoughts,
the ones I have against my will?
Have you ever daydreamed of drowning?
Have you felt the pain inside me?
Consantly lingering,
reminding me of the lies,
Slowly swallowing me

Do you know how it feels to hate?
Genuinely, wishing everyone would just die
Have you ever been alone?
Lost, crying out for some one,
Anyone who undersands,
Silently?
Do you know what it's like to be me?
I could show you
But you'd run

Grip this blade
don't hesitate,
Drag it across your flesh
Shiver at the sight of blood
