You make it seem like it's a joke
But you never see what happens when we woke

You may never see us cry
But on the inside we ask why

Wonder what would happen if you woke
Feeling like your all alone
Knowing that all that's here is your bone

What would happen if you woke
When on the outside your smiling
But on the inside your dying

What would happen when you woke
Feeling like you want to die
Yet you can never be seen to cry

And what would happen if you woke
Wanting that knife to cut the ends
Unable to wait to see what afterlife sends

But what happens if you woke
And all your life broke apart
And you didn't get a chance to restart

Yet what would happen if you work
And your eyes are stirred and dry
Yet all you want to do is cry

And what would happen if you woke
Knowing that all you know is despair
Yet everyone else seems to not care

Wondering what would happen if you woke
When the world seems to end and you are nothing
And when everybody looks at you and murmurs something

What would happen if you woke
When no one seems to give a ****
And all you ever seem to do is be hit

Think what would happen if you woke
When the lights were out and you felt deeper
Then it seems as it ends you see the reaper

And what would happen if you woke
With the uncontrollable urge to self-destruct
And your emotions seem to finally erupt

What would happen if you woke
And all at once everything seems lost
And you decide it's worth the cost

Wondering what would happen if you woke
Wanting all this suffering to completely end
And have the fields of time shift and bend

Or what would happen if you woke
Unable to breathe barely alive with a knife
Just knowing this is the end of your life

What would happen if you woke
Feeling like your puny little heart is broken
And you want your final words to be spoken

And what would happen if you woke
With the water spilling down your throat
You realize you have been smote

Yet what would happen if you woke
Feeling like no one would care if you passed
At least you would be free at last

So what would happen if you woke
Feeling winters cold embrace
While you feel you lost the race

And what would happen if you woke
When all the happiness you have known
Begins to unfold and becomes a groan

What would happen if you woke
With your face red and cheeks soaked
And you wish you had finally croaked

So what would happen if you woke
And all the love and light faded from within
So that all that was left was to turn to sin

Wondering what would happen if you woke
With your heart strings on the very last line
And you were messed up and broken with a sign

And what would happen if you woke
Feeling like a ****** failure of a person
And on top of it your family made it worsen

What would happen if you woke
And your destiny became to die
Your mind would yell and cry cry cry

And what would happen if you woke
If the sky's weren't blue
And only grey surrounding you

What would happen if you woke
When the sky was dark and grey
And all you feel is agony and decay

Or what would happen if you woke
When the sky was near fire
And your neck is hanging by a wire

What would happen if you woke
And the whole world was a smokey mess
And all you think is I want this less

The things we go through aren't a joke
So just imagine if you woke

i woke up in a tear stained lace dress black boots
still drunk with bruised wrists i woke up delicate
feeling hallow i woke up hopeless & next to a
man much older than me no longer innocent
haunted by what he had done still believing he
loved me i woke up ******* manic on a monday
morning to run barefoot & say goodbye to my
friend for the last time & to get high before college
or school but i cant remember which i woke up
from a bittersweet dream where an awful friend
held me under the flowers to say he was sorry for
the things he couldnt remember but i would never
forget & he told me he was crueler than i can
imagine i woke up wishing it was a real apology i
woke up sick in bed barely breathing from too
many pills i woke up devastated to still be alive i
woke up in a cheap hotel room with a boy i met
once at a gig when we had nothing left to give i
woke up faded on medication with my friends
hand up my skirt & i had made sure to wear my
nicest underwear ivory silk since i knew it would
happen again & woke up crying i woke up
desperate i woke up idyllically lonely under death
in the stars i woke up numb & made of porcelain i
woke up not entirely here & woke up bleeding &
woke up grieving. i woke up in everlasting fear

im not entirely sure if i ever woke up this morning
