Plastered on Fake smile
Remove the plastered on fake smile,
Expose the lost, broken and lonely child,
The one you just can't erase,
The child they all destroyed,
The daily comments and torture,
The cruel names,
Remove the plastered on fake smile,
It's time to let go of a tainted fake pretence,
Let the disguise slowly slip away,
The masks removed,
Now when you smile it'll be real,
No more pretend masquerades,
No more masked and faked 'I'm okay's' ,
Reveal the lost , broken and lonely child they turned you into,
Oh if only they could see you now,
Would they care for the life they stole ?
The life that they destroyed ?
The daily torturous comments and names,
To them it was just a little game,
Remove the plastered on fake smile,
It's all over now.
The cutters prayer, (Trig S/H)
Hush now young girl,
This world its only full of sorrow in one big whirl,
Just a tiny tiny dot in that big big universe,
Sometimes it's like you're living under a curse,
So hush now young girl you know just what to do,
Just grab the blade, close your eyes and slash a few,
Get those thoughts out your head,
Watch your blood stain your bed red,
You feel quite literally dead,
So slice away,
Watch your worries drift and float far away,
In a river of red,
You got those thoughts out of your head,
So tonight you know just what to do,
Close those eyes and slash a few
Tomorrow is a day a new.
Smile princess (Trig S/h) Smile little princess,
Fool the world,
Let them think that you're okay,
Don't you dare let that perfectly formed mask slip away,
Keep them all beautifully fooled,
Smile little princess,
Smile little princess,
Don't let those tears fall,
For if they do you won't be able to stop,
Smile little princess,
Take that blade,
Keep up this sweet and blissful fake façade,
Smile and slice away little princess,
Because little princess
Haven't you heard ?
It'll be all okay in the morning,
So smile little princess,
It'll all be okay.
Skin Victim (Trig S/H) Take the blade,
Bleed a river of crimson red,
Another cut , another secret,
You've fallen a victim,
You're the destroyer,
Blade in hand,
Your skin the victim,
Crimson red pouring out,
Take this blade,
Correct the mess of this life you've made,
You're the destroyer
Your skin the victim.
Come little girl Come little girl , well go to a place far away,
Come little girl,
It'll be okay,
I know you, you know me,
Come little girl, come with me,
Do as your told and I'll be quite happy,
I'll threaten and silence you,
You'll be the prisoner who's life I took,
Leaving you trapped with no key,
Come little girl, come make me happy,
While it's your childhood I destroy and steal,
Even though once I'm gone for you it'll still be real,
Come little girl your time is up,
I demand you do as your told,
Come little girl
Your life and innocence is gone,
Hush little girl , Don't say a word,
This secret is ours now,
I was that girl,
That little girl,
My life you destroyed,
While you roam free,
I'm left behind ,
Trapped here ,
With no key.

These are really beautiful! My favorites are "The cutters prayer" and "Smile Princess," but they're all great!
Do you ever get a little bit tired of life
Like you're not really happy but you don't wanna die
Like you're hanging by a thread but you gotta survive
'Cause you gotta survive
I really like Plastered on Fake Smile. This line: “Now when you smile it'll be real” doesn’t quite flow with the rest of it, in my opinion though. Still a great read!
The cutter prayer is so relatable, definitely one of the best written and worded SH poems I’ve read.
In “Skin Victim” I really love this line “Correct the mess of this life you've made”
I can also very much relate to “Come Little Girl” you did a great job. You’re a strong writer!
