Strength In Your Skin

It's tricky j, and this goes out to anyone who's struggling

Put down the blade, don't cut your wrists
It's gonna be okay, so, please don't quit
You are so brave, the strength is in your skin
Listen to me hey, you've got more to give

Tonight, I'm trying to write
What's on my cloudy mind
I will tell my friends I'm fine
And try to act like I'm alright
But I'm alone late at night
Lying awake, I silently cry
A memory I'm tryna hide
I see when I close my eyes
I just want to try and forget
Go to sleep and get some rest
But I'm feeling really stressed
My face is pouring down with sweat
Now, I'm back to being a mess
Stuck in the mood of being depressed
And I've lost all over again
I just want this pain to end
I'm afraid of being alone
Lonely in this empty home
I can feel the wind blow
Heavy like a cyclone
I'm starting to lose hope
Bcoz I dunno how to cope
And I can't let it go
So, tell me what do I do?

Put down the blade, don't cut your wrists
It's gonna be okay, so, please don't quit
You are so brave, the strength is in your skin
Listen to me hey, you've got way more to give

Tonight, I'm trying to sleep
I just need to rest in peace
But voices won't let me be
The only way is to cut deep
Man, I'm tired I feel so weak
Out of breath, no energy
Kinda glad I cannot speak
I chose to write the rest in ink
I just wish I could ignore
The fact that I am so poor
And in my body, I'm at war
I can't do this anymore
Why was I even born?
I've asked myself this before
I feel so fucking torn
See me crying on the floor
I can't erase or escape
Or turn away from all the pain
I'm back in that same place
Tied down, I felt restrained
Black beaten and bruised
I punch the wall with my fist
Been hit, I've been abused
From this I don't wanna exist
I'm angry, and I'm sad
My feelings are outta wack
I'm hurt, and I feel mad
I'm suicidal and that's a fact
I'm lost, and I feel stuck
I have really had enough
I'm gonna make the jump
This time I am giving up
