For Awhile

You told me you didn't care, my opinion didn't matter. "You're right", I admitted. *the tears downward splattered* "I'm hopeless, I'm helpless..." "You're taking up space!" "Excuse me excuse me! I can't find my place!" "There is none," You taunt me, "There's no use for you." "You're right... now I see it. I'll leave, life's askew!" I died that day- Oh not really you know. I'm right here still breathing with heart cold as snow. It's rock hard, a bit cracked, and might crumble away... Who knows? I can't feel it... I might go today... Now don't get it twisted, I can laugh, play, and smile, Just when I'm alone I feel dead for awhile. It's said, "Words can't hurt you" and that much is true. It's the meaning behind them that kills me... and you
