They scream and claw
Never knowing if the chains will hold

Every cut still raw
They're always trying to take control

Pushing them back into their cells
I paint on a smile

With the ringing of bells
School sounds like a trial

Each step was taken with care
One foot in front of the other

It feels like there's no air
But I can't call mother

I try to scream
Hoping that everyone would just stop talking

My mind an acid stream
Demons telling me everyone's mocking

But my mind holds me back
If I don't speak, they'll never know the pain

Everythings has gone black
Why do they keep screaming in my brain

Just one more hour
Try to stop daydreaming

Life's too sour
Stopping myself from screaming

Grades all A's
Room is all clean

Maybe this is a phase
My thoughts worse than the horror movie on the screen

No one knows
Just how loud the demons have been

My trust goes
But not what I have seen

With a gasp
I'm out of bed
Taking on the day
with much dread
I want to scream
instead, I pray
That the cold water
would take me away
But pushing from the ground
I take a breath
I can't cause the pain
that would come from my death
So smiling and laughing
acting like the rest
I put on a good show
and hide that I'm depressed

Shoulders back, eyes front
Big smile, never blunt

Hair curled, makeup done
Don't cry, nowhere to run

Camera’s on, lights bright
Families here, don’t bite

If you think this is bad, just wait
Mornings almost here, don’t be late

Six’ am, shower and dress
Seven to eight, makeup needs to look its best

Eight’ fifteen, act like you eat
Small piece of toast, just a little bit of wheat

Eight’twenty-five, pack your bag
Almost done, don’t you dare drag

Eight’ thirty, chauffeurs here
Mum’s tagging along, don’t jump off a tier

Nine o’ clock, school starts
First class of the day, the fine arts

Every stroke, taken with care
People are watching, so add some flare

Ten o’ clock, science class
Kid says hi, go ahead and pass

Eleven to twelve, flirt with the ****
And sit back and watch as his girlfriend gawks

Twelve’ fifteen, lunch has arrived
All gossip, officially food deprived

Two more classes come and go
School has ended, time for a new show

Manicure and pedicure, don’t stop smiling
Phone stops ringing, just keep dialing

****** at four, study at five
Family dinner at six thirty, try to survive

Eight’ o clock, detox, and yoga
Try not to freak that your life is worse than the battle of Saratoga

Ten o’ clock, just a quick shower
Cry out your feelings, this is your only hour

Cut your ankle, no one will know
Just give it an hour, the blood slow

Lay in bed, just one more day
You can end it after your birthday

— The End —
