Split Ends
Now I am certain, tonight is the night
To end my pain and erase my choices
Too long have I fought this fierce, ugly fight
Put up with the taunts from countless voices.
As I gaze at myself in the mirror
I see a reflection I cannot love
My break quickens as my fate grows nearer
Doesn't anyone care, way up above?
My fingers reach out and grasp the sharp blades
Trembling with the weight of this decision
My heart beats like the sound of ten grenades
To do this right will take great precision.
I don't pause to ask myself if I dare
As I chop off twelve inches of my hair.
