My screams are silenced
In this hallway of kids
They ignore me, or stare

All these kids whisper
About who I am
And what I look like

Nobody can hear
My cries for help
My cries for someone to understand

My poems are how I speak
My own little diary
But everyone sees my secrets

These poems are dark
And some people think I'm faking
But I'm not, I swear

I lie awake in the dark abyss of the night
Imagining a better life
Where I am not insecure

People laugh from dawn to dusk
Laugh about me being insecure
But it's their fault, don't you understand?

No you don't
Nobody does
Because I haven't found the right one

Everyone at school will say I am a freak
Just one person, I pray
One person, who can understand

But no one will come
Because no one truly cares
And I can't hear good things

All I hear, is the monsters within
Clawing at every inch of my being
Trying to escape

But I won't let them out
Because what I have learned,
Is to keep everything inside.

And put on a happy face...
