The stars above
Can’t even show my love
Or how much I died
Every time you cried
The good you saw in me
Made me want to believe
I could get better
And not hide under my sweater
To be comfortable in my own skin
To realize it’s okay to not be thin
Would be wonderful

In her heart she cries
Yet on her face is a smile
FAKE
That’s what she is
they are all right
She finally tried to talk out loud
WHISPERS
is what her voice comes out as
Crying at night
But hiding behind that mask
ALL DAY
Hoping that one day
SOMEONE
will realize the pain that she’s in
Share it with her
Respect her
And mostly
LOVE
her for who she is
Maybe then the screams will disappear
FOREVER

Falling apart
Leaving my heart
Behind
I can not find
My knife
Even in the afterlife
Protect attack
But never attach
Yourself
Leave me be
I’m just a burden you see
The fact I’m still alive
Time after time
Minutes hours days weeks
When will I find what I seek
Love
Something that is long gone
It no longer has a song
My soul
Is just a pawn
Until the end of dawn
