Lately I've seen days

Better or worse

I've seen them

And they suck

We have a concert tonight

We can't be unique with what we wear

Instead we all wear the same thing

Same shirt with black pants

But I want to be who I am

Without getting into trouble

But I can't

Just like

I want to say what's on my mind

But if I do

Everything gets worse

Worse than ever before

I can't do anything about it either

No one can

Everyone says they're just rude

But what if it's true

What if no one really cares about me

What if it's all just an act

Or something to protect me

They can't see it

That I've been hurt

By their words

Even though they say they care

I get hurt

To some it may seem like heart burn

I think though

It's a heartbreak

Trying to be one again

But one can never tell

Can shattered glass be repaired

Without cracks

Can paper be uncrumpled

With no wrinkles

These are questions

That need to be remembered

And thought of

Before those words escape your lips

And before someone else gets hurt

And think

Is it what you want to say

Or what they need to hear

Lately I've felt like glass
