I stare at myself,
Straight in the eye.
I watch the tear slip,
Bleed out as I cry.
Why can't they hear me,
Screaming out for help?
Will it be better,
If I continue to whelp?
I try to fit in,
To stay within the crowd.
But they keep screaming,
'Your just too loud!"
Society wants to hurt me,
It thrives in all of it.
They want to extinguish,
The candle that was once lit.
I used to not care,
About what others thought.
But now they have me thinking,
I'm just a big, fat, ugly wart.
Why can't I except myself,
For who I really am?
This face is just a mask,
A way to hide from this whole sham.
I will never fit in,
Never be pretty.
I can't escape,
This suffocating city.
I want to be pretty,
I want to be nice.
But its no use,
I'm stuck amongst lice.
Maybe the pain will work,
Help it all go away.
It can just stop,
For one last time today.
They all enjoy hurting me so much,
Now is the time to figure out why.
I can't keep living,
I can't continue to cry.
How does that saying go?
If you cant beat them, might as well join them.
