Hurt

I hurt myself today
to see if I still feel
I focus on the pain
the only thing that's real
the needle tears a hole
the old familiar sting
try to kill it all away
but I remember everything
what have I become?
my sweetest friend
everyone I know
goes away in the end
and you could have it all
my empire of dirt

I will let you down
I will make you hurt

I wear this crown of thorns
upon my liar's chair
full of broken thoughts
I cannot repair
beneath the stains of time
the feelings disappear
you are someone else
I am still right here

what have I become?
my sweetest friend
everyone I know
goes away in the end
and you could have it all
my empire of dirt

I will let you down
I will make you hurt

if I could start again
a million miles away
I would keep myself
I would find a way

that was one of the most amateurish poems i have ever read. something i would have written when i was emotional in secondary school. please get over your self pity because many people that i have met are not as fortunte to have the kind of education you receive. to be honest you're a hypocrite to yourself. (look,i dont even bother to capitalise my first letters because i am typing this with one hand and with little regards to you) *to cut things short, i despise you for your self pity and disregard for the people around you.

To Anonymous: i don't know why you've put up such an offensive comment, but it's the lyrics of Johnny Cash's cover of Nine Inch Nail's 'Hurt'. Which is a lovely song considering what he had done and gone through in his life. I put it up because it is a reminder of how one can feel and worse of all, remain, if one is not careful...

Funny how things read so differently when placed in a different light.

hey terence! its vanessa from the old YnW, haha. (well...2 years older now, not much still yeh but ah well lol) just wanted to say hi and whats up, hope you're doing well and i bet you're creating good films and theatre as you always do! i also wanted to say that i love the song you've posted and i do wanna look it up cuz the lyrics are poignant. its always good to reflect and draw inwards wtih regards to one's emotional health occasionally and it certainly does no harm. i'm sorry but with all honesty, i do think the contradicting comments by anonymous speak for itself, berating anyone would just be pointless. Kudos to you for posting such awesome lyrics, creating art remains as such and there aint nothing else to it! ;)

Keep in touch! x
