Welcome To Me by neeT ladiciuS
Imagine comin home everyday,
mom and dad yellin away,
in the kitchen,
momma's crying,
cuz daddy cheated,
now he's lying.
Imagine taking the blame,
and bein called names,
she goes out of her way,
to make you feel pain,
and though she's never said it- you feel like a mistake.
Daddy's the physical type,
won't tolerate nonsense of any kind,
he's easily angered,
never a smile on his face,
and all his words are full of disgust and hate.
Imagine waking up everyday,
feeling drained,
don't wanna get up,
but you're too scared to give up.
Imagine takin pills everyday,
to help you concentrate,
but all it does is lock you in a box,
and throw you in a lake.
Now you're drowning in your thoughts,
and you can't tell what's real or fake,
cause you've lost track of the days,
when you last felt 'okay'.
Imagine being told your whole life Is a sin,
and you want to stop but you do it time and time again,
you want them to forgive,
but you don't know where to begin.
Imagine tryna OD,
at the age of 13,
tellin yourself "it's too late for me,
there's too much pain,
and everyone hates me lately".
Imagine leaving marks on your wrist,
try to hide em with a bunch of bracelets,
[when it's new it's a battle lost,
when it fades, It's a battle won]
All you wear are long sleeves,
and hoodies.
when someone asks,
you blame the cat.
Imagine flinching every time someone raises a hand near you,
you're so used to abuse,
that you forget people love you.
Imagine ducking every time someone walks by- in a certain way,
every time someone goes to touch you,
you brace yourself,
ready to be beat black and blue.
Imagine being mentally abused,
always bein lied to,
emotionally drained because you're always bein used,
being told that you're not a 10 but a 2.
Imagine bein me,
probably wouldn't last a single day in my mind,
My demons would eat you alive.
While you lay awake at night,
you'll start to lose your mind.
Imagine,
just imagine,
feeling this pain.
Surrounded by hate,
abused day after day,
just imagine being me for a day.
