You don't know me.
Did you know
 
 Of the different ways I hide insecurity?
 
 How I tend to cry
 
 Myself to sleep every night?
 
 How I stand my ground
 
 But brace myself for getting pushed down?
 
 How easily I can fake a laugh
 
 Then turn around and want to fall apart?
 
 And how I sometimes do
 
 And it costs me more than I'll ever have?
 
 How I tend to lose my mind
 
 And deal with the pain in the worst of ways?
 
 How each day I live a lie
 
 Hide this f***ed up place I'm supposed to call a home?
 
 What goes on behind closed doors
 
 How I scream until I can't breathe anymore?
 
 How I make the same mistakes
 
 Hour after hour, every f*****g day?
 
 Why I even write all this s*** down
 
 Because I'm too afraid to even open up my mouth?
 
 How I let the pain release
 
 
 Thinking, no one knows what it's like to be me?
 
 
 How once I thought of suicide 
 
 But never had the guts to actually do it?
 
 How I always tell myself I'm better than that
 
 But still live on in a present my past has ruined?
 
 How a hidden depression resides in me
 
 And I'm playing a game I know I won't win?
 
 You think you have a right?
 
 To say I'm useless and have no friends or life?
 
 Did you know all of these things?
 
 Before you went on and judged me?
 
 No you didn't.
 
 So let me live this messed up life the way it should be.
 
 Thanks to you
 
 You made all faith in that die.
 
 You don't know me
 
 So stop pretending you do.
 
 Stop being one more problem in this f***** up life.
 
 Honestly, it's the least you could do.
