The sleepless nights
the silent screams
The chaos in my mind
To me it's normal
To you it's devastating
and you try to relate
But you don't know
how it feels to hate myself
despite being successful
You don't know
that I cover my scars with long sleeves
and a warm smile
you don't know
that I lost interest in activities I enjoyed
because I didn't want to explain the scars or cuts
you don't know
how everyday I love myself
only to find every wrong at night
you don't know
what prision I constructed
so please
don't tell me you understand
or that it will be ok
because right now it wont
