how do you tell someone


how do you tell someone something so crazy

that you cant see the light at the end of the tunnel

that youre an angel thats  just been begging to go home

how do you tell someone something so personal

that you stopped being innocent against your will

that you lost the motivation to live

how do you tell someone something so hard

that youll be reliiving that day forever

that no matter what they do it cant erease the pain

how do you tell someone something that is so complicated

that your relationship with your parents isnt the best

that the thing  you want the most is to be independent

how do you tell someone something so horrible

that youve faced deaths door more time then you can count on one hand 

that the scars on your body were no happy accident

how do you tell someone so strange 

that everyday situations can be so overwhelming as to cause you pain

that at times you dont talk not because you choose not but you simply cant

how do you tell someone your life story?
