Red marks on her wrist
caused by an addiction she can't resist
Every Time they call her names
it causes her an inner pain

But she hides behind a smile
only for a little while
Until she gets home an nobody is around
then that smile turns into a frown

Nobody will hear her out
nor do they care what she's about
So she grabs a cold silver blade
an adds more to the marks she has made

She cringes as it slices her wrist
but she is relieved that her pain is being dismissed
She smiles as the crimson blood hits the floor
and it keeps coming more and more

The cruel mean voices begin to fade as she drops the knife
she finally put an ending to her pain an strife
All the bullying, betrayal, and pain
was just more then she could maintain

So think about it for awhile
exactly what lies behind a smile
