Just One More Time

Published: January 2009

She promises herself
It'll be just one more time
And then no more
but she's made these promises
A thousand times before
She's hidden the blade
Away from everyone else
somewhere she hopes she'll forget herself
but the whole world knows that she's depressed
the whole world knows her life's a mess
What people don't understand is the reason why
And the reason why she needs to lie
Nobody understands why she can't be truthful
and be the person she longs to be
if somebody looked deep into her eyes
I wonder what they'd see
Would it be a fantasy life
Or would it be reality
Only she knows the answers
But she'll never tell
The reasons why her life's a living hell

wow ..this touched me because my life was just like this... this was my addiction too.. I couldn't stop...soo I let my friend hide the blade..and I had this pain and it wanted to be released soo my friend gave me an idea...and it sounds crazy but it worked for me...he gave me a rubber band to wear on my arm, and when I felt the need of a blade .. I just popped the rubber band really hard on my arm... It's not the same but I got use to it..and since then I've been clean off this addition for 2 years..
