To be her


They tell her she isn't as alone as she thinks But they never lived everyday alone as her Unable to form real relationships with people Because of her fear of rejection With only her thoughts to tempt her Telling her to end life, cut her wrist, And take a bottle of pills, And so mad at herself that she failed too The first time even though she took two, Because now they are always watching her She just wants to escape reality But nothing she does works She just doesn't want to live anymore They don't know what it's like to be her
