When I'm just sitting here

All alone

I can hear every sound

It's beating like a drum

Echoing all around

Listen to the wind blowing

Through all the trees

Beginning to cry

 As I drop to my knees

I realized I was holding my breath

Seem to be constantly wishing for death

 Wanting this all to just go away

 Always feeling alone in this world

One that has quickly grown cold

What do I even have to look forward to

My soul is so weak And I'm feeling so old

It's such a chore to remember

Any good things that I've had

Always feeling overwhelmingly sad

I'm trying not to burden the others

I silently cry while I'm under the covers

A few people wondering where I'm even at

Just trying to hide from the torture

 Of being life's doormat 

Throughout my life

I've experienced some terrible stuff

And I've tried to hold onto an image of being so tough

Most overlook my horrible reality

 That theres nothing more 

Than a scared little girl within me 

I'm really just wanting to forget

All of the abuse and other shit 

It all has me damaged so deeply

 These thoughts of mine just won't fucking quit

 It doesn't even matter

How hard I really try

To just push it all away

It always comes back to remind me

That I will never escape this pain

It is real And it's here to fucking stay

Just when I think that everything is good to go

I get the wind knocked out of me

 With another epic fucking blow

Will I always be struggling

Trying to catch my breath

Gasping for air

Hoping for sudden death

 I hate being so fucked up inside

Never feeling better

No matter how much I've cried

None of them will ever admit what they did

Enduring viscous abuse since I was just a kid

Remembering all of that fear

Clear back from when I was two

Why didn't anyone protect me

Like they were supposed to

What could I have possibly done wrong

To deserve so much abuse 

For this fucking long

Doesn't everyone deserve a break

What the hell did I do

Someone answer me for fuck sake

I've heard a few I'm sorry's

I promise it won't happen again

Only to get beat down and treated like trash

Get a clue stupid

You're never going to win

The damage has already been done

 You have no chance

Your value is next to none

I'll never know why my life

Was destined to be this way

I know I'm not lucky enough

For it to just end today

I'll be forced to keep going yet another day

I'll just leave my soul right here

In the woods

It's the perfect shade of gray
