It hurts...
To smile in the face of the ones I love
Knowing every part of me is shattering inside
Laughing because it's the only thing that keeps me from breaking down
Only crying when I'm in the shower, so no one will see
Staying silent, so those around me don't worry
But I'm screaming on the inside
Begging, pleading, needing someone to see past the charade
Because I am screaming
Clawing at the cage that is my own flesh
It's a battle I feel I have already lost
I can't escape myself
Or the demons that lurk closely
Why?
Or should I ask, how?
How do they make hurting me look so easy?
How much more can a heart of gold take?
How much longer before I completely break?
