Mom, dad can't you see, how much your words are hurting…
“Mom, dad can't you see, how much your words are hurting me? I think if all the words you've said, at night when u can't seem to sleep in bed. Sister, brother, don't you hear? I'm in my room holding back every tear. I don want you to know that I'm broken. So I'll keep smiling and leave all the pain unspoken. Friends, lover, don't you know? There are many things I chose not to show. I scream, I cry, I cut, I lie. But most if all I want to die. People, society, where is the guy I used to be? You made me drive insane in my head. Congratulations to every one of you. I am dead.”
