You pass right through me
As if I am a ghost
As if I felt nothing
But, oh, I feel everything
I feel so much everyday

You think you see right through me
As if you can tell I am lying
But explain to me you should
Why don't you catch my fake happiness
When I lie about being happy

Your laughter doesn't pass through me
As you think it does
It hits me hard
Right in my heart
And knocks the breath out of me

You think I can't hear you
As if I am deaf
But what if I told you
I hear everything
Every little breath

You look at me and laugh
And think I see nothing
But I am not blind you see
For if I was blind
I wouldn't have insecurities

You think so many things
You assume I am ok
But I am not a ghost you see
I am a human being
And I have feelings too, you know.

Echoes fill the room
All I can hear
The soft noises
That come from a person
I can not pin point where they are
Once again and forever alone
All I ask is to hear those voices clearly
To be understood

So I stand here in the rain
All I hear is the drops
Why do they seem so big to me
Like a brick hitting rock
A person is speaking to me
But it is not clear
For the rain drowns out the sound
I need so desperatly to hear

So I run to them
Run through the rain
And miracously I can reach them
When I run to them they stop
I grin a grin so big
They smirk and laugh at me
And insult me
And I run back

I sit alone in the dark
Only fire to warm me
To warm my broken heart
Unlike a broken bone
My scars will never heal
And I will always remember
That no one will ever care
But even if they do care
They won't understand

I'm a stowaway
On this empty ship

Broken glass all over the floor
Broken emotions that were inside

I'm tired of going to school
Of facing the people there

Why can't I just stay in bed?
It's safer in there...

Don't want to talk, don't want to smile
It's all fake, I know it

Trying to cover the words
My mouth just wants to speak

Trying to cover the sound
Of them gossiping about me

Trying to cover the sight
Of the glass on the floor

I hear the voice telling me to
Go, go, go

So I jump of the ship
Into a sea of hope

I fear I will drown
Or eaten by a shark

But what is life
Without fear and hope?

All I do is write
Under the willow tree
This is my safe place
I call it my Willow Leaves

I heard them fighting again
So I ran and ran
To my safe place
My Willow Leaves

My emotions left
Or are they just crazy?
I don't care really though
I'm under my Willow Leaves

The school kids are annoying
Always gossiping
But all sadness rolls away
Under my Willow Leaves

During the winter my willow tree goes
My Willow Leaves gone for months
I'm always depressed during this time
I hate myself for being like this

No other place to run
No other place to vent
No other place to be safe
Other than my Willow Leaves
