imagine yourself
alone in your head
you are hanging, dangling
from a silver thread
empty, alone
with the monsters within
internally screaming
you just want to give in
now imagine that's you
every day, every hour
forever sinking
like a wilting flower
you try to tell your dad
and you try to tell your mom
but they say you are being silly
you have to move on
because teens don't know
sorrow
nor the hardships of life
they are just kids
with imaginations
just looking for attention right?
you think that there is none
who know how you feel
you are just alone
but the feelings
they are real
useless
neglected
forgotten
distressed
alone
afraid
but mostly
depressed
and your friends
they go on
like nothing has changed
they must not care
your thoughts whisper
the lies in your brain
you cant escape it
trapped in your own skin
your ugly
youre hated
but you mask it with a smile
a grin
you hate what you feel
so instead you feel nothing
your insides are numb
your confidence is crumbling
you look to other things
to stop the pain
cutting, pills
but it gives you no gain
and the people around you
shout abuse your way
'you are hurting yourself stop it!'
that's all they ever say
no matter how you plead
that you are broken inside
they turn the other way
they run, they hide
they say you are foolish
its all in your head
you are already dead
