i want to scream so bad,

but i can't make a sound.

you can only be yourself

when no one is around.

their heated glares,

why are the always looking?

they even try to pretend

that i'm not listening.

i should have known

not to trust anyone.

not to let anybody repeat

the things that they've done.

i should have kept my mouth shut

and silenced even my breathing.

these useless phrases

don't even mean anything.

funny how things

actually turned out to be.

nobody knows how I'm doing,

nobody knows but me.
