Surrender
May 6, 2011
I'm Alive but I'm Dead
My heart beats but it's broken
I listen but I don't understand
I smile but I'm frowning
I laugh but on the inside I'm crying
I speak but no words come out
I love but I don't love myself
I have no friends but I'm every one's friend
I stand but I always fall down
I'm here but I'm always in the shadow
I'm smart but I'm gullible
I have faith but not in other people
I walk but not in a straight line
I get excited but I don't get my hopes up
I'm a fighter but I always give up
I hate the way I am I wished it'd all stop
