The sleepless nights
the silent screams
The chaos in my mind

To me it's normal
To you it's devastating
and you try to relate

But you don't know
how it feels to hate myself
despite being successful

You don't know
that I cover my scars with long sleeves
and a warm smile

you don't know
that I lost interest in activities I enjoyed
because I didn't want to explain the scars or cuts

you don't know
how everyday I love myself
only to find every wrong at night

you don't know
what prision I constructed
so please

don't tell me you understand
or that it will be ok
because right now it wont
