I don't understand


Happiness shouldn't be this hard to achieve

I'm still hiding cuts under my sleeve

From pink to red to white

This it the toughest battle I"ve ever had to fight

 

My ribs are nothing but an empty cage

There's a hole in my chest where my heart burns up with rage

I'm never talking about my emotions

But everyday I just feel broken

 

I think I'm depressed but I can't find a meaning

I'm sitting in my room wishing I were screaming

I have all these worries cause it feels like nothing's gonne cure me 

It's like I'm drowning in my mind because of thoughts that are never kind

 

It's crazy that I can't find the strength to smile

You don't have any stress is the only thing I hear because I'm a child

"Your not suicidal" I think you're just in denial

I don't understand why everyday I'm fighting for my survival
