I’m denying

But I'm still crying

I’m O.K.

So I say


I'm broken

So i let it all soak in

I’m pretending

But I’m still mending


I’m hurt

So i wear a baggy sweatshirt

I’m worried

So I’m hurried


I'm nervous

But I'm told I'm worthless

But I'm still nervous

So I'm left wordless


I’m afraid

I let it all fade

3...2...1…

Gone...


The pain, fear, and anxiety

Gone with my last breath

It’s all over now


No more pain, fear or memories

They're all gone

I don’t have to live with it anymore

No one cared anyway


They’ll pretend,

They’ll put on a show

But no one will notice

No one will care

 

It’s all over

No more...

They’re gone…

Never to be seen again.
