Will they ever realize im not ok..?


5am 

She gets out of bed

she makes coffee just to last

4 more days then she can nap

As she goes to school with dark under eyes and a mask

She acts like shes this happy girl with a perfect life

but really she is sad with lines on her wrists and thighs

wondering how she can live this lie

She was scared, tried, and lonely 

Too scared to say hi to anyone by

and to much work to be done to get sleep

She does sports and has all A's but this isn't enough to last for days

Her parents argue with her telling her she has an attitude 

and that she doesn't appreciate anything she has

but really she just wants her parents to notice she isn't ok

At school she has no friends but hey at least she'll learn how to survive alone

6 more days till she can nap

oh wait, her grades aren't good enough

Anything she does makes her parents less proud

so she stays up doing extra credit 

and she starves herself to lose weight for the sport she has no interest for anymore

hoping its enough 

cause then maybe her parents will notice she insn't ok
