"I don't want to go back"
She said in tears

" Go back where?"
Go back to what?"

I don't want to go back
To being that girl
Who was filled
With nothing but suicidal thoughts

I don't want to go back
To being that girl
Who saved people around her
But killed
Herself each night with depressing thoughts

I don't want to go back
To being that girl
Who pushed the people around her away
Because she was too afraid of being saved
So chose to be caved in
With the demons living within

The girl who had to put on an act each day
Just to conceal what she really felt inside
Afraid that someone might reveal
Her pain
So happiness she would feign
