Since I haven't written anything new lately, here's one of the few ones I rescued from my old harddrive that I don't believe I've posted before.
"paper nails"
paper nails and razor thin
beneath the waves too tired to swim
chlorine green and rotting black
release your anger i'll take it back
headache strain and stomach churn
away the cut away the burn
razor nails and paper thin
too damn tired to start this again
when farther away is more like home
girl so tired and girl so alone
pushed far enough to honestly say
i almost hurt myself today
in hopes the pain would go away
paper nails and razor thin
sick of this battle i cannot win
sick of the powerlessness i hold within.
sick of black and sick of white
sick of nothing being right
waves dark and ocean deep
lured into the depths of sleep
with paper nails and razor thin
i'm just too damn tired to rise again
yes, i am.
