Public Secrets...

I hate her.....
Are you happy now?
Now that they know,
that I am not like you,
that I am different, too.

I showed them the scars,
because they asked to see,
and I no longer care,
what anyone thinks of me.

They all ask me if I am alright,
if I have cut again.
Do they really think that I would tell,
that I am living in my personal hell?

It couldn't be a secret,
you couldn't let me be.
No, you had to try
to increase my misery.

Are you happy now,
you bitch?
Now that all my friends know,
you had to tell them
that I was a cutter.
Now they see me for what I am,
not what I should be.
