Tonight I'm leaving
I won't be back
I won't look over my shoulder
I can't stop
Hesitate
Falter
I have to walk
I've been slowly diminishing away
As I've sat here
Pretending
Like I don't need
Like I am above pain
But truth is
I'm dying
I hate the snickering voices
In my head mocking me
I used to think I would be okay
But I'm not!
I won't be!
And this pain emanating from me
No one seems to care
Or feel
I wish I could continue on
A perfect lie
But within every lie is a small truth
My truth is untold
