It Sucks Me In But Won't Spit Me Out

Their opinions don't matter
Don't listen to a word they say
Their opinions don't matter
I say these words every day

No matter how many times
I repeat it to myself
It never sinks in
Only sinks to the bottom

The glances give them away
Eyes telling me the whole story
I try not to look
But they burn right through me

Late nights sitting alone
Isolated even though everyone's home
Their words unspoken
Slip into my mind
And slide the blade into my hand
Cutting deeper than it ever could

Taking it all away
Taking them all away
Taking them all away

Their opinions don't matter
Don't listen to a word they say
Their opinions don't matter
I say these words every day
Repeat these words every day
Repeat these actions every day.
