Marking the spot, where I have healed.

Trauma to my skin, why can't my mind win?

It feels like I am trapped, my mind is abstract.

I can't escape this pain, It's like I'm in a chain.

You think that I am fine, but you can't hear my whine.

Can't you see I'm trying to be the person you believe,

That I am, why can't you understand?

All of this exhaust makes me feel lost.

It's like I want to speak, but I'm just too weak.

I want to disapear so you don't see my tears.

It's not because of you, it's becase I'm through.

I've lost my way, should I even stay?

Everything is dark and I can't light a spark.

I know I look ok, but it's just a play.

All of it is an act and I think my heart is cracked,

It's like I am stuck and all out of luck.

Inn a life of lies that I call a disguise.

It's like I can't see the meaning of me.

When you say those things, don't you know they sting

You think It's all a joke, but really I'm broke.

When I wake up I want to give up.

Open your eyes, recognise my cries.

I'm shooting out a flair, but no one is there.

Hold me in your arms, away from all harm.

This isn't goodbye, I don't want to die.

Things need to change, before I go insane.

All of this stress makes my life a mess.

I know I'll make it past,

I just need to ask:

Can you see me now?

Are you just asking how?

Let me just explain this feeling called pain:

It goes so deep and you  can't control your weep.

I know it's selfish if I left you all helpless.

So get me out of my life doubt.

I know I'll be fine and eventually shine.

Guide my way everything will be okay.

any way).
