Ask yourself Quote by Anonymous
“And with a shattered mirror And a bleeding fist You hold that blade Against your wrist. As you push it into your flesh You ask yourself why? Why am I hurting myself? Why should I die? But theres no time for questions You find yourself screaming The guilt in your blood You wished you were dreaming.”
