Secret

Let me tell you a secret nobody knows

 

I'm insecure, I hate myself, I don't see myself pretty, I'm a mess

Mess up in the head

Standing in front of you, my mind keeps on running and running and running away

From logic and reason I wish I have now

 

I'm under this great pressure I made myself

I can't lift it up, it just keep on, in on, in on crashing every faith in myself

and chain every part of me

Blinding my eyes

Sealing my mouth

Killing me slowly inside

And I can't breath seeing my reflection in the mirror

I'm sick of it

 

I keep on saying, I keep on screaming

I keep on crying, I keep on wishing

I keep on praying to be like them

but even the shooting star can't change that

 

How do you run from what's in your head?

 

I can't free myself from my insecurities

I'm embarrassed, I've become a mess, I've become a hater

It keeps on destroying myself inside

and I can't take it out of my mind

 

Every second, every minute, every moment of my life

Is slowly becoming something my jealousy made

I started to hate myself

I started to hate the people I'm jealous of

 

Because I want to be like them  

Pretty, Confident, Intelligent, Proud and Shinning

Everything I ever wanted, but I can never be like them, I can never be them

I'm like an unfit puzzle piece of the society I want to fit in

 

My jealousy, my insecurities made me into someone I despise

Hatred for myself runs in my veins

Everything I stand for just disappeared into the oblivion

like bubbles disappearing  into the thin air

 

And I'm becoming trap in my own twisted world without realizing it

As it drowns me, pulling me with its current to the darkness of my tainted mind

Its just a matter of time I might breakdown

 

Everyday I keep on telling myself be strong, be strong, be strong

stop being insecure, but I don't have the strength to do it

I don't have the courage to tell it to my friends, to my family

I'm dying inside- I want them to see through me

and when I lie - I'm fine they'll believe it without a doubt

 

I want to share it to the world, but I can't help myself to lie, to push everyone away - I've become a fool

I know it sounds crazy, I myself don't know why

I just want people to realize I need help without me telling them

 

I want them to save me from my own tainted mind full of insecurities

 

I want you to save me from my own tainted mind full of insecurities

 

Can you do it?

Because I can't.
