I'm fine, yeah why, you don't need to worry about me
please stop, I'm okay, cause that's what I'm supposed to say
the words are choking me, making it hard to breath, but i fake a smile so you won't know what's killing me
This is what stigma sounds like when i cry myself to sleep at night, i scream but you don't hear a thing even though in my mind I'm drowning but you'll never see me frowning whenever you ask i always say I'm okay, i don't ever want to be in the way, that's what stigma says
Its just a scratch, probably a cat, no i don't know how it got there,
but I'm crippled by the shame inside, but i laugh it off with a smile
the words are choking me, making it hard to breath, but i fake a smile so you won't know whats killing me
This is what stigma sounds like when i cry myself to sleep at night, i scream but you don't hear a thing even though in my mind I'm drowning but you'll never see me frowning whenever you ask i always say I'm okay, i don't ever want to be in the way, that's what stigma says
Damaging, threatening, close-minded and brutal, awful, fear-inducing, anxiety producing, fatal, if they believe they are all alone, trust me i would know
this is what stigma feels like when it can get to your head, you question everything thing, your strength, your mind, your sanity, the shame in every breath, the embarrassment you can't forget, but this is as far as it gets, no you're not over yet, you're not alone
