How many times have you said, "I'm okay"
With tears streaming down your cheeks?

How many times have you tried to cover up those fresh cuts
Bright pink against pale skin?

How many times have you gone to bed thinking
"I'm so unlovable"
And crying into your pillow?

How many times have you been replaced
Or been forced to replace someone you love?

How many times have you fallen for someone
Knowing deep inside they don't care?

How many times
Have you been like me?
*I'm sorry I just can't take this anymore....*
