Paper Ball Blues

Wrap myself up in a paper ball
Used to think I had it all
Fractured hands, just like my soul
Used to think I’d reach my goals
Cut myself to ease the pain
Because I won’t give out the blame
Take pills at night so I can dream
But system’s down, and I’ve become lean
Why are you worried about what I do?
Why do you care when I don’t hurt you?
Peer out from inside my ball
It’s safe in here as down I fall
Use my hands as my soul aches
I can give, but I can’t take
Cut myself to find my dreams
But I’ve gotten lost in what I seem

for the guy who sat next to me in class and made me stop hurting myself... at least for that stretch of time...
