You told me to be strong
And I'm trying to be strong.
But even the strongest diamond
Eventually **breaks.

****** up
Insecure
Nervous
Emptiness.

Silent.
I have to remain silent,
Or else there will be consequences.

Silent.
I must suffer in silence
Because if I don't, I will get hurt even more.

Silent.
I must die in silence,
Because majority rule.

Silent.
I must apologize silently
Because I could not stay, even for you.

What you never knew
Ultimately destroyed me
And my whole life.

What you never knew
Was that I am a monster
That can't be controlled.

What you never knew
Was how I torture myself
Trying to be good enough to be a daughter worthy of you.

Hush, girl,
Just bat your eyes.

Hush, boy,
Throw on your jersey.

Hush, dear child,
Play my little game.

I love you.
I tell you this almost everyday,
But somehow, you don't believe me.

I love you.
You tell me this almost everyday,
But somehow, I don't believe you.

I love us.
We are the perfect two,
Somehow, I know that this is true.

I wish that I could stop your
Suffering.
I wish that I could endure your
Pain for you.
I wish that I could build a
Place to protect you.
I wish that I knew that you
Love me as much as I love you.
Zach, what I wish most of all is
That I was with you.
