NOT LIKE THEM

I'm not like them;

There is a mess in my head

Please let the suffering end

Just let me be like them

Bright smiles, twinkling eyes

Tears are streaming down from mine

Smooth skin, no line

Mine is full of scars

Scarred skin, scarred heart

It's been broken too many times

But I see them smile

And I wish I was the one smiling

Instead, I'm left there lying:

"I'm fine," even though I wish I would die

The light in me has died out

And I became the dark

No one hears me screaming loud

They say even the night is full of stars

But I don't believe their lies

I'm not like them

There is a mess in my head

Sometimes I wish I was dead.
