Do you know

How it feels to be told

Your dreams don't matter

You'll see when you're old


Do you know

The feeling inside

"I'm not good enough"

The demons, they cried


I know

How it feels to be useless

Called a child

Told I cause such stress


I know

How it feels to hurt

To want to hide

Behind a sweatshirt


Do you know

The feelings that steals air

But you wouldn't speak

You wouldn't dare


Do you know

That a broken heart

Can be caused by someone

That's not a sweetheart


I know

What it means to see

All the people

Surrounding me


I know

But I still let them carve

Scars on my soul

My heart will just starve


Do you know

How it feels to be trapped

Powerlessly waiting

Not wanting to be snapped


I know

How it feels to be somewhere

That looks so perfect

But hides behind the glare


I know

How it feels to be broken

I know

The words left unspoken


Do you know

That the loudest cries

Actually sit silently

Behind someone's eyes
