I find shelter in hiding my feelings.
I hate opening myself up,
because then I feel vulnerable....like you'll take advantage of me.
Or you'll reject me,
or that things just won't be the same. But I'm willing to risk it.
I want to be completely honest with you, I want you to know how I feel.
And I am willing to risk everything like  to make you understand
that you mean everything to me, and that my feelings for you are real.

You don't want me,
but you don't want me with anyone else.
You only want me there when it's convenient for you, when everyone else has left.
I don't get it.
Do I need to be lonely and miserable for you to be happy?

Today she's turning 16.
Everyone's singing, but she cant seem to smile.
She wonders if anyone realizes, that behind her long sleeves,
are her scars.
Shame. Regret. Hurt. No one should have to feel this way.
She felt *****. Disgusted. Used.
Something precious had been ripped from her.
No one should have to deal with the pain she went through,
that horrible night.
The pain and suffering still lurked in her head as she dreamed at night.
It isn't forgotten, and never will be.

When you're young, you have no care in the world.
You run wild and free.
Your parents would say "Always be yourself."
You think, "How could I be anyone else?"
Then you grow up and see, sometimes it's hard to be yourself,
in a world where people are pretending all the time.
Pretending to be someone that they're not, just to fit in.
Then suddenly, you change the way you dress, the people who hang out with.
They tell you to lose weight, and they told you the quickest way to do this.
You find yourself sitting on the bathroom floor, crying. Thinking to yourself:
*Who am I?

This isn't love.*
I know what love is, I've seen it.
Love doesn't hurt. It wouldn't make me feel like this.
No, this isn't love.
I honestly don't know what this is.
You continue to hurt me, over and over again.
You're words aren't true.
And I'm beginning to think, that maybe,
I'm better off without you.

You're like a magnet.
No matter how hard I try to stay away,
I always come back to you.
There's something about you, but I'm not quite sure what.
Your words are like weights,
holding me down.
And Im not sure if I can get back up.

All I want is for you to be honest.
Be honest with yourself.
Be honest with me.
It's ok to need help.
You're not alone in this.
I'm with you.
Always.
