DELIBERATE SELF HARM

She’s not conventional
She will not conform
To an unsatisfied stereotype

She’s singled out
Excluded - won’t fit in
With an unsatisfied stereotype

Words form in hateful throats
You’re such a freak
Not an unsatisfied stereotype

And when she’s all alone
And she’s curled up in a ball
She knows they’ve taken everything
She can’t feel anything at all

Switch zealous schoolgirls
For corporate zombies
An unsatisfied stereotype

Shamelessly shallow
So empty and hollow
An unsatisfied stereotype

A razor blade incision
And red comes rushing to the fore
With the releasing of endorphins
She feels emotion once more
A perfect little secret
But now she fears that they’ll find out
Escaping to obscurity
Is surely safer there’s no doubt

And when she’s all alone
And she’s curled up in a ball
She knows they’ve taken everything
She can’t feel anything at all
A perfect little secret
But now she fears that they’ll find out
Escaping to obscurity
Is surely safer there’s no doubt
