Never Would I Ever Wish

Never would I ever wish for you to deal with this

Nor feel as though it's all your fault.

Or to break in the most violent way possible

In some sort of emotional assault.

Never would I ever wish for you to feel alone

Waiting for the crowd to clear so you can cry

Being around people you click, yet not wanting to hurt them

Not wanting to say when things go terribly awry.

Never would I ever wish for you to look down and see

Scars and cuts, new and old,

Not being able to wear shorts without your stomach turning

And knowing the story each cut and scar told

Never would I ever wish for you to hear what they say

Know that they don't even consider how you feel through bare hints

And what's worse about them not accepting you?

It's knowing that they're your parents.

Never would I ever wish for you to turn your back

With a heart of gold but a mind of daggers

With wet faces and bitten lips

With a dream as to walk but only making staggers

Never would I ever wish for your thoughts to be black

And your dreams taking place in a grave

Taking admiration to knives, drinks and drugs

All in an attempt to stay brave.

Never would I ever wish for you to feel like you're worth nothing.

Like you'll never be loved by those you love to see.

Just take a deep breath honey, it will all be okay.

Never would I ever wish for you to be me.
