Attention Seeking Teens
Scars on tender wrists,
sweaty palms clenched into fists.
long sleeves sliding over suddenly warm, wet arms
damaged voices silently screaming over qualms
these attention seeking teens
Tiny prides squeezed like bubble wrap
addicted to their masochistic trap
finding release in quick strokes
lost in a sea of dead hopes
these attention seeking teens
oh sure, oh sure,
sel-harm is just a phase
life is a goddamn race!!!
where will you sad children be?
you are living in a fool's paradise, see?
tsk, tsk, these attention seeking teens
oh dear adult!!!
if only we were oneof those!
