I thought I was strong
but I had to realize
i'm not.
I'm weak.
Pathetic of me
to think I was welcome here.
It hits me right in the heart,
invisible pain flooding over me.
"Why can't i be stronger?"
I say as i tear myself apart,
cursing my fragile skin,
tears filling up my eyes.
Hiding behind a mask
while i'm drowning in pain
and self-hatred feasts off me.
But I won't let you see me cry.
I run to my cage,
at least i'm welcome there.
Am i not enough?
Why is noone happy i'm here?
I thought i was stronger
but my skin is made of paper.
and my heart is getting heavier and heavier.
I sink to the floor,
drowning in tears.

Hiding behind a mask

But I won't let you see me cry.

Why is noone happy i'm here?
I thought i was stronger
but my skin is made of paper.
and my heart is getting heavier and heavier.
I sink to the floor,
drowning in tears.
