Disclaimer: I don't own Victorious, Jade West or the song Cut by Plumb.

No one really understands…

I'm not a stranger

No, I am yours

They never have.

With crippled anger

And tears that still drip sore

But then again, who really took the time to? Aside from Beck, but he never really cared. Not after Vega came into the picture.

A fragile frame aged

With misery

And when our eyes meet

I know you'll see

If you took the time to really look at me – past the black makeup and sharp words, and really get to know me, you'd know I'm broken and scared.

I do not want to be afraid

I do not want to die inside just to breathe in

I'm tired of feeling so numb

Relief exists I find it when

I am cut

Most of the students at Hollywood Arts don't understand how hurtful their words are. Their talent, money, and ignorance blinds them. When they look at me, they don't see Jade West; they see a mean, gothic, arrogant student who they never want to cross.

I may seem crazy

Or painfully shy

And these scars wouldn't be so hidden if you would just look me in the eye

Now I'm starting to see what they see.

I feel alone here and cold here

Oh, I don't want to die

But the only anesthetic that makes me feel anything kills inside

I don't have any more talent than the rest of them. I used to think I did, but Vega was the end of that. I'm not blaming Tori, it just seems like if she hadn't turned up, I would still be in my little bubble of disillusionment.

I do not want to be afraid

I do not want to die inside just to breathe in

I'm tired of feeling so numb

Relief exists I find it when

I am cut

I only hope Cat will be okay, and be able to stay in her bubble. She deserves it after all.

I am not alone

I am not alone

I'd rather feel the self-inflicted pain than feel the pain they cause me. I'd rather be invisible…

I'm not a stranger

No, I am yours

With crippled anger

And tears that still drip sore

I'd rather be gone…

I do not want to be afraid

I do not want to die inside just to breathe in

I'm tired of feeling so numb

Relief exists I found it when

I was cut

I just want this pain to end… forever.

Hey guys, just a sad little songfic that I wrote and have had certain people annoying me into posting. Happy Fire'n'Ice? You better be!

LOVE, LOVE, LOVE! :D
