I Swear

They look at me
Disgust in their eyes
What they say about me
I swear it's all lies

I swear I'm human
I still feel the pain
When I get rejected
I still feel the shame

I have all these emotions
That I dare not speak
They whisper at me,
"You dirty freak"

What did I do to her?
How did I hurt him?
Weren't we once friends?
I was stabbed by them

But my blood
You can't see
The blade is there
Right inside of me

Why was it me?
I don't understand
Why wasn't it her,
That they would reprimand?

I swear I'm good
I swear I'm nice
But the game still continues
They still roll the dice

I thought if I smiled
I threw in a laugh
I would have friends
I wouldn't be half

I guess I was wrong
Humans are frail
Feelings are fleeting
Expression is stale

Since no one wants me
Since no one cares
I'll just solve a problem
Get out of their hairs

I'll rid the world of me
For their sake
Across my skin
The blade will rake

When the morning comes
I will not arise
The world can rejoice
For the girl, she dies

They won't look anymore
No disgust left to give
For the girl
That no longer lives
