Head buried in a notebook,

That's how I like to pass my time

I'm using 26 letters of the alphabet, but I bet I've filled 200 lines

Can't think of a better way

To get my point across

When I tell you that, "I'm fine,"

Inside my head, I'm lost.


I don't know what to do,

Often don't know what to say

So I keep my mouth shut

And stay silent mostly always.

Whenever I do speak,

I feel like no one ever listens

So I don't even waste my time

But the shit I feel inside is starting to get ridiculous.


I never feel at peace,

Something's always fucking with my head

And most days are just survival

Because I wish that I were dead.

It's really hard to let it out

And tell people how I feel,

So I just keep it bottled up inside and swallow another pill. 


"Just take this medicine," they say

And it'll help me in the end

But the only thing that seems to help

Is the red that stains my skin.


I'm addicted to the pain I feel

And the way it makes me numb

It's a hard thing for me to stop

Even though, I want to be done.


They say it's just a cry for help

Well, that's exactly what it is,

But why is that seen as a bad thing?

I'd rather not die still a kid.
