I don't speak, I listen, when the truth gets too hard to admit. I don't cry, I swallow, every hurtful thing people have said. I run away, I fake, I bury, I break, apart at every seam I act, and I pretend, I always forget, how much it really means. Every time you hear me speak I'm screaming, whether you can even hear me or not. Every time you look at me I'm crying, whether you can see the tears or not. Don't believe the face you see all tied up in a bow, 'cause night time is when it all unravels. Every day I wake up hearing voices yell in my head. It never dies until I fall into my sweet warm bed. I scream and I proceed. I block out everything. I live it all alone. I kick, and then I bleed. I wait until I'm free of all these walls inside of me. Every day you hear me speak I'm screaming, whether you can even hear me or not. Every time you look at me I'm crying, whether you can see the tears or not. Don't believe the face you see all tied up in a bow, 'cause night time is when it all unravels.
