Trapped In My Head

Trapped in my head.

It's like I'm trapped

And there's no way out

Stuck in between four walls

Echoing screams and shouts

In the darkness and nightmares

I feel it following me

I can't remember a time

Where we all were free

Number one I'm saying this to stop the spelling mistakes

I get them each and every lesion and I'm about to break

Number 2 I don't want to be judged for what I say

Telling people is scary so don't go away

I don't really know how to start

How about we start with the assumption I'm smart

Its human nature to judge a person's outside

The inside is something I've learnt to hide

At school I struggle to keep up

I keep my head down and nod to cover it up

You can't see anything there are no marks on my skin

But I can feel the pain when the hurt seeps in

To be honest it scares the future, my life

I have thought it would just be easier just to get a

No, no I can't do that

Let's change the subject... how I think I'm fat?

I can hear them whispering, talking behind my back

The cutting words as if they launch an attack

The mirror is my worst friend

It only takes one look and I want it to end

The constant social stress

I know that in the school, in the country I am blessed

But all I see is pressure from every angle

I mean when will I need to know the hypotenuse of a triangle

I'm not going to have a rant about school

You would be here forever and that's just cruel

But because of the pressure and the gentle bullying

I resorted to not consuming

I knew that didn't rhyme but I refuse to say the word

because I know if I do someone could have heard

I know its unhealthy and I'm trying to stop

But every time I think I'm back on top

I slip and fall down an endless pit

I can't get out; I can't move and I just loose it

I have thought about it you know

Melting away in the sun or the snow

But I'll continue fighting until I am warn out

Until then I'll stand tall and work it out

Still I know that I'm trapped in here

I know those monsters won't ever disappear

I'll still be judged, picked on and called a disgrace

But no one will ever know because there's a smile on my face.
