BREAK

I smile for the camera so they won't see,

I'm crying on the inside, secretly hating me.

I don't know why I try to change my ways,

I'm always on the back burner no matter what I say.

-

I laugh so no one sees I'm bleeding,

They don't know that I am pleading,

To be brave enough to bring life to an end,

So that way I won't ever have to pretend.

-

Please don't give me your pity 'cause I've had quite a bit,

You're right to call me out and say I'm full of shit,

There's no place for me and this heart doesn't matter,

Who wants the stupid thing that can easily shatter?

-

So many years I've tried to make do,

To live and love and make friends too,

But lately I can't even do that right,

I know now I have lost the fight.

-

Goodbye to the people who pretended to care,

But won't give a fuck when they realize I'm no longer there,

Goodbye to the few good friends I had,

Today's the day I break under this iron clad.
