"Come on kid, this is your dream!"


There's something I must tell you
Don't worry about a lie because it's true
You know that smile I always wear?
It's not real because in my heart there's been a tear
Do you know that laugh I always use?
I use it because your words are abuse
You know my favorite sweater?
I don't use it for the weather
The scars that I hide?
They wash away with the tide
The pain that I feel?
It's nothing but real
Now that I've been sucked into the darkness
I'm no one someone will come to miss.

As I sat alone in my room during a school day, too depressed to drag myself out of bed, I wrote this. Deep from withing my suffering heart and my jumbled mind.
