I wonder if every morning, you sigh when you wake. If you force a smile when you look in the mirror, and pour out your emotions with the milk. I wonder if you think about me when you walk like a ghost through corridors, floating behind the eyes of everyone else, thinking you’re unseen. I wonder if you scream in your head, begging to be heard, or if you’re used to being a sheet of paper, once white but drawn over by the people you love. I wonder if there’s colour in your life. If the reason you lie behind closed eyes is just because you’re scared. I wonder if you sleep dreaming about a better life, only to be awoken again in a bleak nightmare you can’t escape. I hope -

I wonder if every morning, you sigh when you wake. If you force a smile when you look in the mirror, and pour out your emotions with the milk. I wonder if you think about me when you walk like a ghost through corridors, floating behind the eyes of everyone else, thinking you’re unseen. I wonder if you scream in your head, begging to be heard, or if you’re used to being a sheet of paper, once white but drawn over by the people you love. I wonder if there’s colour in your life. If the reason you lie behind closed eyes is just because you’re scared. I wonder if you sleep dreaming about a better life, only to be awoken again in a bleak nightmare you can’t escape. I hope -
