Lies

Another promise broken

Words that go unspoken

They now almost go up to my elbow

When you ask why, I say I don't know

No full meal in days

Dizziness when I run away

Hear my heart when I stand

This is far from what I had planned

Tired all the time

Pain fills every rhyme

I just don't know what to say

I can't keep blades away

Wishing for help to show

If only people would know

But I can never tell you completely

How many times depression has beaten me

In my 13 years I've felt more pain

Than words can even begin to explain

The lives of those around me would be better

If I could just learn to say whatever

If I could simply just not care

What others though, then I would swear

To forever put the blades away

And live a fully blood-free day

At one AM I lay awake

Feeling my heart burst and break

And I may not say this aloud

But I honestly get nervous in those big crowds

So I continue to lie away

While wondering why I never say

The words I dream to get off my chest

But the right person still hasn't pressed

Hard enough to hear those words

That I can't even say to my girls

Even though they're my best friends

That goes passed where the line ends

To truly, fully, completely conclude

I still have way to much to prove

And though I still say my lies

I have to believe someone hears my cries
