We cry, we cry because we are hurt

We are sad because we are hurt

We won't show it because it's weak

It's weak to show it

We hide it because we are scared

We are scared people see us as a weakling

A burden

We hide behind a mask

We hide because we don't wanna show the weaknesses

We put up a fake smile so they think we are living

We wanna tell them the truth

We wanna scream the truth

We can only whisper ''I am okay''

We stand at the edge calling for help

We are standing at the edge out of control ready to jump

We can't scream because they'll say we are attentionseekers

So we hurt, we hurt ourselves

We hurt ourselves to feel alive

Because we aren't alive but only surviving,

surviving for the people who want us to survive.
