"You are perfect"
"You are amazing"
"I wish I could be you"
"You are so lucky"
They say...

If only they knew
The feelings I feel inside

I smile
I nod
I compliment

When in fact
I can't stand you

I help you
You do nothing in return

I wish you knew
The empty
The enraged
The desperate
The lonely
Soul within me
Screaming to be released

I'm scared
Scared to get careless
And lash out

The words I will say
The pain I will inflict
The people that will never speak to me

I use to be good
I have changed

I didn't even know
Until it was too late

I want to go back
But at the same time
I don't

I lie
I cry
I cheat
I deceit
I dream
I scream

I thought I'd be different
From the one I hate
Instead I became his reflection

Punching
Biting
Scratching
Kicking
Screaming
Sometimes in silence
Sometimes not

I know how to stop
So what's preventing me?

I can't stop
I don't want to
Or do I?

Help me
Before I help myself
