Screams echo in your head,

silent tears fall.

Closing your eyes,

you erase the bitter memories.

But you'll be brave,

and face the world.

No one needs to know-

no one needs to see,

the fragile mess you can be.

Don't be scared,

life will move on.

And someday,

so will you.

Open up those beautiful eyes,

you don't have to listen to all the lies.

Take a deep breath,

stay calm.

It's okay.

Forget everything.

You're not one of them.

Hold your head up high-

walk past the ones pretending...

pretending to be something they're not.

But you're different now.

Because you were destroyed and ripped apart.

Crushed...like rose petals.
