do you ever feel alone even when you are surrounded by people
your mind is screaming to get out
but it can't
because it's trapped in its own prison cell of the skull
you just want to scream at everyone around you
i'm not invisible
i can hear you
i'm not blind
i can see you laughing and pointing
can't you see the pain behind my eyes
the tears filling up
most can't see the inside
the emptiness of your stomach from hunger over a course of days
the tears coming to your eyes and the struggle to get them to leave
the long sleeves that hide darkened and red scars
and fresh blood pouring from my veins
my happiness was taken away after the lies and the realization
that i will never ever be good enough
i'll always be too annoying
too fat
too awkward
too this, too that
maybe that's why i get treated the way i do
i did something wrong
i screamed
i cried
i took that cold blade
and released my pain
the more it slides, the angrier i get
deeper and deeper i go
until i'm lying soulless
lifeless
in a pool of my own blood
that disgrace will now be lying
down in the earth
as the rest of the world
seems to never care...
