Alone at night

I lay in bed alone at night
and wonder why I'm here.
I do so much for everyone.
Why don't they show they care?
I met this boy who said he loved me,
something I haven't heard in so long.
He used me for my money;
what a ride he took me on.
There is so much hurt I feel,
so much anger trapped inside.
Sometimes I wish my family were here,
but to me they're not alive.
I have no one to talk to, while
these drugs seem to be the only way.
Turns out it's just a lie just like the smile
I put on each and every day.
I know outside I'm smiling;
It's the face I fake for you,
but inside my soul is crying
and there is nothing I can do.
I know my family loves me.
I'm there when their decisions are poor.
I'm sick of feeling like this walked
on rug thrown upon the floor.
I lay in bed and wonder
what the hell I'm doing here.
Can I wake up from this dream?
Can I please just disappear?
