They have no idea

"You need to get out of the house" "Come over I miss you" "Let's go do something" "You stay inside all day. That's not healthy" They have no idea what's happening to me They don't know why I shut them out The cuts on my legs remind me of prison bars & make me think I'm a prisoner in my own mental state "You'll come visit us at school right?" "Don't forget about football games" "Everyone will love to see you" They have no idea that I can't come back They don't know that I'm leaving soon I havnt told a soul about the hospital visits Or the thoughts in my head "Let's go swimming" "You're getting pale lets go tanning" "This bikini would look so cute on you" They have no idea why I can't wear bathing suits They don't know why I can't go swimming The marks on my skin would shock them & I don't need a reminder of how crazy I am They have no idea
