Why do I feel so empty inside
Like everything is gone; my ego, my pride
Nobody knows how much I tried to put it aside
How much I tried to laugh
Everything is frozen like a photograph
Worn out by the pain
Too numb to explain
It makes me go insane
The only thing which will help me survive
Is it ignore it and get on with my life

I am breaking inside
As long as they are happy right?
Getting all the good grades, ivy league universities
I don't have a life my own
They will always remain on the throne
Nothing ever satisfies them
Nothing is ever good enough for them
I am never good enough for them
Dancing to the beat for their drum
They say they are not controlling and selfish
I beg to differ
They blame me for my rebellion
Calling me a hellion
Just because I want to live a life by my own choices
They raise their voices
Leaving me voiceless
I am helpless
I am reckless
I am friendless
I am breathless
I am defenseless
Comparing me to other kids
I am sorry, I can not be perfect so stop your subtle digs
There is too much pressure
Keep on fighting for the treasure
I need a refresher
It will get better
What a joke, call me a jesturer
I look around, all I see are my assessors
I need an adventure
Have to make an endeavor
Escape from all the cold weather
Little do I know I am trapped forever

He's hurting
He pushed me away
I'm not sure what to say
The fact that I cared
Made him scared
He won't even try
All he said was goodbye
I want to be there
Run fingers through his hair
I'm trying to let him go
My heart says no
The longer I stay
The harder it is to walk away

Standing trapped inside
Your real smile makes me go wild
Staring at it for a while
Brings out my inner child
I want to embrace you
You say you are fine but I see right through
Your smile is fake
No one else can see it, that makes me ache
Seeing you struggle with your heartbreak
You always give but people just take
Don't appreciate you for who you are
Watching you bottle up your feelings in a jar
I can not help you from the sidebar
You say au revoir

Hiding underneath the cover
Ignoring will make all my problems go away
Pretending I am the hunter
And not the prey
My bullets deflecting right back at me
Leaving me wounded and hurt as can be
My confidence shining right through
But I am insecure
I try not to give out clues
Hiding behind my own shield
My fate is sealed
Still waiting for my wounds to heal
At last they never will until all my secrets are revealed

Somedays
I just want to stand still
Pop another pill
Numb the continuous pain
Dance in the rain
Accept the fear
Maybe even shed a tear
Silent Voices
Without any possible choices
My lips are shut
Another cut
Scars may heal
Doesn't make them any less real
There is no hope
I will always be restrained by ropes

You tied me down
Heartlessly removed my crown
I begged you to let me go
To end the show
You never listened
Threw me into a prison
Little did I know this was all the beginning
Crushed my ambition
Forgot all about my existence
You had one condition
Life imprisonment
I had to keep my distance
You soon became the twisted Villain
I feared you might become
