SKIN DEEP

Drawn to this pin like it would hold me together,
Pinching through my skin, i hoped i wouldnt teather.
It became my drug, i loved the way it would feel,
I depended on it, until things got real.

It wasnt a safety pin, it didnt keep me safe at all,
It rose me higher everytime, only to watch me fall.
It pierced through my skin until eventually i felt pained,
Though i didn't throw the pin out, i refrained.

I couldnt let it go i had become to attached,
And on me, with such a tight hold, it latched.
It clung to my skin, i felt the venom in my vains,
Its toxic poison courses through me, im in chains.

It was bent, it was sharp, it wasnt right,
I should have stayed away, that late night.
It wanted things out of me, it wanted to take,
And once apart of me, it was so hard to shake.

I eventually had enough one day and i grabbed ahold,
I stood strong, and told it, from me you will unmold.
I tore it out, and through all the fears,
I left it behind, along with my fallen tears.

It has left scars, cuts, emotional trauma to,
But im pulling by just fine now we are thorough.
You where far from what you should have been,
If only i had looked deeper... if only i had seen....

So ill never let you under my skin forevermore,
You thought you had won, but i settled the score...
I dont need you anymore!!!
