What do you mean,

when you tell me to 'be happy'?

How can I just be happy

When I've been falling apart

For the longest time now.

What do you mean

Telling me to be happy

When I've got no friends,

Or anyone at all to care for me?

I've got no one to call

At 3 am when I'm losing myself.

No one to go shopping with

No one to call my best friend.

I'm just alone.

Walking by

Invisible

No one noticing

The cuts in my arms

Or the bags under my eyes

Or the fact that it won't take long

Until I completely and utterly fall apart.
