Scream

I know I shouldn�t feel this way
Dark and hopeless and empty
I have my whole life ahead of me
Everything to live for

I don�t have some tragic backstory
Something to confirm my sadness
It just makes me sadder
Knowing people will never understand

I want to cut, I want to starve
Everything inside me tells me no
But it�s hard

I can hold out for so long
Before I start to crumble
Everyone sees me as happy
When they are mistaken

I want to tell someone
I want to ask for help
But the demons
They gag me
Preventing me to scream
Laughing
And my secret remains with me

How much longer will you gag me?
I want to escape
I want to be free
But the demons
They come back for me

So I cut
And I starve
And follow the demons
And watch the blood run down
And bleed
