Are these marks upon my arms a symbol of not being alone.
Your way of saying 'I love you'.
But really showing 'I hate you'.
Don't hold me tighter or I might fall
Fall to a never ending,harmful crawl.
Now the shades are black and purple.
When did things become so unsimple.
Tonight I lay so still.
Afraid of what you may turn into and kill.
Here I am, ready to go, I am no longer your personal doll.
For this doll has had enough and has dug this knife into someone who is definitely not so tough.

&ldquo;I have heard there are troubles of more than one kind. Some come from ahead and some come from behind. But I&#039;ve bought a big bat. I&#039;m all ready you see. Now my troubles are going to have troubles with me!&rdquo; <br /> <br /> -Dr. Seuss
