In the darkest of times
In the middle of the night
When everyone is sound asleep
And there is no sound, but for the quiet noise of my computer
It’s in those oddly peaceful times
During which no one dares to speak
That I start to hear the melody of my heart
A silent plead, an ache, a scream
“Let me breath”, I hear it whisper
“Come and save me”, the call echoes from within
But all I think
And everything I say
“I’m fine, I can get through this, I’ll be alright,”
While the truth hurts, because I’m not
They used to talk and laugh with me
I made the weirdest jokes
The most sarcastic remakes
I was fun to be around
Until they saw what lies within
The darkness, the pain, all the hate left unspoken
It broke me down, to my core
Made me numb, left me sore
And they saw the monster that I am
With claws deep in my heart
But all they think
And everything they say
“You’re fine, you’ll get through it, you’ll be alright”
While I knew, and it knew as well, that I’m not
I’m not alright, I’m not fine, it won’t get better
I’m broken, I’m suffering, I can’t do this anymore
So please stop pretending that you understand me…
For once, start to see me as I truly am
A broken human being
