I'm fine.
I'm not fine. Please help me.

I'm just tired.
I can't take this anymore.

I already ate.
I starve myself.

Go away.
Show me you care enough to stay.

I'm just cold.
I don't want you to see my scars.

I'm better, I promise.
I've never been this bad.

I'm okay.
I just want to die.

These are the lies I tell every day.

Nobody

Nobody knows the real me
Nobody knows how many times I've say in my room and cried
How many times I've lost hope, how many times I've been let down

Nobody knows how many times I've had to hold back tears, how many times I've felt like I'm about to snap
But don't for the sake of others
Nobody knows the thoughts that go through my head when I'm sad, and how horrible they really are

Smiling has always been easier than explaining why you're sad
