Sing Me A Lullaby

Sing me to sleep.
Wipe my mind free....
Because lately,
All I've been able to sing
Is the lullaby of the unhappy,
The ones awake at 3.
"Why am I so alone?
Where is everyone?
Can't they see me....
Tearing up inside?
Can't they see the demons
Leaking from my eyes?
They said they were here-
Where are they now?
That's right....
I'm alone
Because of these fears,
I isolate myself.
So, they know nothing...
I said I was fine,
With this simply plastered smile."
We're all just sad teens
With a false sheen
And heavy thoughts.
Trying to get though everyday.
Trying not to disappoint anyone,
Especially ourselves.
