Mommy taught me not to play with knives.
So why do i cut my skin?

Mommy taught me not to tie things around my neck.
So why do i try to hang myself?

Mommy taught me not to mess with drugs.
So why do i try to overdose?

Mommy taught me not to play with guns.
So why do i try to shoot myself?

Mommy taught me to love myself.
So why do i hate me so much?
