I'm Not The Colors, The Pictures..I'm The Words

Don't judge me by what I've done
Although it has been said
That actions speak louder than words
But maybe that's just in everybody's head

I cut once
then I was done
That's about it
It wasn't like I had fun

Just one time
That was all it took
To make people start to judge me
Like some cover of a book

But I'm not the cover
The picture of the story
I'm the pages inside
Filled with all their untold glory

I'm not the colors, the pictures
I'm the words
Though people don't see that
And think I'm absurd

Don't judge by these cuts
Don't judge me by where I am in life
I know at times I may be nuts
But please don't judge me by my reflection in this knife
