Behind These Eyes

Fri, 07/25/2014 - 02:27 -- alexuus

I look in the mirror with disgust cause I hate what I see, I don’t want to be me

I got a dad that don’t want me, a mom that don’t love me

Nobody wants me

I just want to be held and told I am loved

In the nights when I cry cause I can’t keep the tears in my eyes

I am lonely and scared because nobody's there

I try my best in what I do but it seems that nobody cares

I hate when people see me cry cause it shows that I'm weak and they'll start to criticize 

But if only they knew what was going on behind these eyes

I know there are people with worse problems then me but there's only so much I can take in

So when people ask how I've been I say fine

Boy if I had a dime for every time I've used that line

My rhymes express what I feel

I say what is real 

I used to cut cause I thought it would help

But it only made things worse 

Behind every scar is a story I tell about how the world turned against me 

Everything hurts.
