I am tired but don't need sleep
I am soft but act so tough
I am kind but sometimes mean
I am brave but also cowardly
I have strength I act weakI am ugly but my beauty shines
I know people that use words like knives
that can cause a wound deep inside
These same knives leave scars that can blind an eyeThere are monsters you try so hard to hide
Not a tear can be shedded from your eye
I am drowning in an ocean hanging on to my life
The ocean is deep dark and gloomy inside
I wish someone would save us from the
Things we tried to hide
