The truth within


No matter how much pain she has You'll never see her cry No she lies in bed at night As tears come out She tells herself 'it's okay' But she knows it's not The pain within is killing her She grabs a blade and cuts away Numb No longer feels the pain Arms, legs covered In scars She slipping away People do not see The pain she has within But the joy, that is no longer there
