When you're so tired that your eyes cannot stay open And you no longer feel like you have a purpose When everything hurts and you cannot fake your smile anymore You've been fighting way too long and finally you give up You have won many battles But you have lost this war That is when you give in You give in and let your eyes fall shut You drift away into sleep Before you fall off of the edge of conciousness You bite your lip and pray You pray to never open your eyes again You pray that maybe Just..        maybe... You will not wake up I don't think you know what that feels like You will never know how it feels To wake up And be disappointed And try to convince yourself it's a dream You will never know how it feels To be burdened by your own existence You will never know how it feels to look in the mirror And truly hate what you see No, don't you ******* tell me you know how it feels Just because you don't like your nose Or you're sad sometimes Just because you get angry Or tell your little brother you hate him You are not depressed You are not a prisoner of your own mind So shut up Because you will never know how it feels To live every single day Wishing it would all end Wishing people would just stop caring Wishing you could disappear You will never know how it feels Don't tell me that you do Because you don't You will never know how I feel You will never know what it is like To be b u   r    d     e      n       e       d by your own ******* existence.***

how it feels
