At last I drown, alone:
My head is underwater as I scream for help
My cries are muffled, they don't hear me
Can't they see something is wrong
That I'm missing and slowly dying
I just can't save myself and all their heads are turned away
Running out of oxygen and energy, I give up hope
Resigning myself to this fate of fading away
Invisible, alone and silent.
But how could you have known to look
When I hide behind my crumbling mask
Perfected over the years for your convenience
How could you have known I'm broken inside
When all you see is a reworked version of myself
And not the broken shards cutting into my skin
Torturing me until I fall apart, and give up to the darkness
I stop struggling, I just close my eyes and exhale
As my once bright shining eyes give out and I disappear.
