The Truth

October 1, 2013

"Say what you feel"

What if words aren't enough.

"What's wrong"

You ask out of habit, you don't really care.

"Seems like a 'you' problem"

You don't know the extent of my problems.

"Pay attention"

I can't when I'm so close to breaking.

"I don't need excuses"

What you don't need, is the real story.

What you don't know,

is the truth.
