i hear cracks in my bones,
i hear my blood dripping,
drop after drop,
oh it's so heavy,
so heavy for me to bear,
i want to spit it out,
want to tell them the truth,
say it out aloud to the world,
but i can't,
i have my demons,
sitting on my lungs,
telling me to hush,
with brutal eyes,
and their crooked smile,
they won't let me,
they are trying to crush me,
they want me to keep the burden ,
on my shoulders,
pushing me down
stopping me from screaming aloud,
so everyday,
i walk among the people,
who claim to love me more than anyone else,
unable to recognize the red lines,
my empty eyes,
unable to figure out meaning,
from my quivering voice,
so it goes on and on like this,
we keep on playing hide and seek,
they behind places,
i behind my smiles......
