It's funny how people assume that you don't talk because you don't want to
When really you don't talk because you can't
It's so hard to talk when there's nobody listening
Now I have a question
Something I want you guys to imagine
Have you ever considered this scenario?
I am walking the hallways—
This is a setting at school
By the way
There's no-one surrounding me
I am walking in a pit of darkness
So black
That I want to go back
I want to go back to the good moments
To the days where nobody ignored me
I want to go back to the days where I was happy
To the days pressure didn't even exist
Just be myself and that was it
But you know what?
Things change
Things happened
My life isn't perfect
Although I wish that it was
It's not.
Have you considered that scenario,
Or do you guys just love to assume?
She is doing this for attention
I mean—come on, it must be true right
Look at how she's dressed
Look at the way of how she acts
So that's just it?
I just want attention?
Oh, wait I forgot to mention
I have depression.
Somewhere that must have started in my childhood.
I live with anxiety
Both are living door to door next to me
I am in the middle
Trapped inside
I can't even breathe
I can't even fight
Did you just imagine
Or did you just assume?
Because that's it...
That's it!
I don't think I can take much more.
