At the time,
it seems so simple.
A quick answer to my problems,
a simple solution really.

a speedy way out of the taunting,
the hitting,
the cutting,
the teasing,
the abuse,
the thoughts.

And here in this moment,
would it really be best,
to take the easy way out.
I mean it would truly be,
a simple solution really.

They don't know,
they don't understand.
No clue what their words are doing to me.

I cover the bruises daily.
She leaves those marks,
a constant reminder,
of her hatred toward me.
The woman who calls me her son.

I guess that's why i cut.
Its the one thing i can control.
The pain,
the when,
were,
how,
and why.

I want to get away from it all,
I need the quickest way out.
Its the only way to get rid of my problems forever,
is to take my life.

A simple solution really.
