It hurts,
Being so good at lying.
I smile everyday,
Though I feel like dying.

It hurts,
When no one believes you.
I tell them I hate myself,
But they don't think I do.

It hurts,
When people see you crying.
They joke about my feelings,
Not knowing that's what I'm hiding.

It hurts,
When you laugh off your pain.
I tell them everything is fine,
Just to smile in vain.

It hurts,
Always wishing for death.
I hide my pain with laughter,
Though I'm running out of breath.

It hurts,
Not saying how you feel.
I push myself too far,
To remind me of what's real.

It hurts,
Always fucking hurting.
I tell myself I'm fine,
Though I know that bridge is burning.

It hurts,
Writing down these words.
I tell myself it helps,
Though I know it makes things worse.
