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
