A Thousand Words
A thousand words that were left unsaid,
 a thousand tears I was afraid to shed,
 The life I lived in fake smiles and laughs,
 and the pain I hid behind my mask.
 Wish I could spread my wings and fly away,
 instead I'm forced to sit here and stay.
 The scars that I refused to show,
 and all the things you'll never know.
 A picture of the things I'm hiding,
 and a room I sit alone in trying.
 I miss my friends, my joyful ways,
 now I'm stuck watching my own life in a haze.
 Wondering when I can finally leave,
 and show the world who I want to be.
 
 A thousand words left unsaid,
 and a thousand tears I refused to shed.
 A life I no longer controlled,
 a life that everyone else stole.
 Once a candle that burned bright,
 but someone chose to snuff my light.
 But I guess the dark is where I'm meant to be,
 in a place where no one else can see.
 If invisible is what I am,
 and left alone I am forced to stand.
 I don't know if I can live this life,
 but still I try and try to fight.
 Weather for myself, and my hopeless ways,
 or for others who need me to stay.
 
 A thousand words that were left unsaid,
 and a thousand tears I refused to shed.
 Now I constantly sit on my edge,
 wishing someone would push me off this ledge.
 and let me fall.
