Silence is the key

Have you ever been abused? Touched in inappropriate ways?

forced to be around people who don't really like you?

Maybe there's a reason why you always go astray.

Have you spent a year choking back tears?

As everyone is so passive aggressive

Do they even care about your hopes, goals and fears?

They probably don't even know why you're thoughts are so obsessive. Your own existence has to run on their terms

You're tired of all that nagging because they see you as a visible germ. Sick of all the bragging about how their life is better when you're not interested at all. You make one mistake and it's like tripping, you make one mistake and no one forgets the fall. In you they have no faith, you found comfort in walking alone because you're birth was a mistake. Others wonder why your heart is stone, but never cry for them, never cry for help. Verbal jabs cut worse than a shark's skin, you must of learned to love yourself.
