You don't get to call me out on my actions
You don't know me at all
You don't know I lost my soul to the devil spying on me
Watching from the ceiling my life pass by
In the bed where I lay
Still
Silent
A statue as strong as the universe
As heavy as the weight of the world
When the sun comes up and down
Bashing me in sunlight only to dim the light
Until nothing is left but darkness
And in those moments of quiet restlessness
I stay silent and let my mind drift to places
Where hidden monsters peek from underneath my healthy mind
Filling my head with thoughts as dark as the night
And I see it
The light at the end of the tunnel
The escape I can't run to
Without sharing my last breath with the empty space next to me
Where you were supposed to appear
To take all my worries away
And lift me in the sky
With the force of your bare heart
Lifting my spirit up in space  where I look up to see you
But you are nowhere to be found
And I am nowhere to be
And the stars won't answer me
They blink and watch upon my story
With a frown upon their faces
Wondering when I will be strong enough
To join them.
And that is why you don't know a thing about me
You don't know my ribcage is empty
You don't know my world is my poetry
You don't know and it doesn't matter
You are nothing to me as I am a shell without a heart
Disappeared years ago in the night
Where I would hold your hand and pray for you
A rescue, a bandaid to my pain
But I bled and ruined you
And now you're gone.
You don't get to call me out on my actions
You don't know me at all
You don't know I lost my soul to the devil spying on me

As heavy as the weight of the world

You may have an idea
You may have a thought
But I'm like North Korea
Everything? I think not
You don't know my experience
You don't know my background
My story exceeds your intelligence
The mysteries while I'm not around
You don't know what people say
You don't know how people live
You hear something new everyday
And you have no intelligence to give
So back away from lives other that yours
And learn about yourself before taking tours

You see me at school everyday
and judge me by what you see.
Well,should I say sorry
'Cause you dont me?

Would you care if I tell you
what you see is a lie?
That behind those beautiful smile
is a girl who always wanted to cry.
But I wont bother to explain it nor to try
'cause your just nothing but a mean guy.

You can always push me down
but you can never stop me from standing and getting my crown
You can criticize and judge me everyday
and I'll say you make me laugh
'cause you dont know me.

You can lie a hundred times about me
make all people hate me,
left me,ignore me.
But still,I dont care 'cause you dont know me.

No matter how bad those words you said,it won't cut me down.
I'll be okay just like a bamboo standing fine
And whenever you speak something bad about others
you defined not them but yourself.

You judged who you do not know
and someday they'll know me better than you
and you're just gonna left stunned having no clue.
'Cause they'll like me BETTER THAN YOU.
