Stripes of a Tiger

Depression is my secret
It changes yourself for the worst 
It makes you cry, cry all night 
It makes you feel numb, oh god so numb
But, because of this thing
This thing called "depression"
It made me earn my stripes 
Because I am a goddamn tiger, who has earned her stripes for life

Suicidal Teen

Cuts tell my untold story
Pills erase my pain
Fire makes my hurt go away

Depressed, so depressed
Never good enough, never will be

It doesn't matter anyways

All I am, is just another suicidal teen

The Light and the Dark

Love hurts 
It makes you feel alive, but then it 
Destroys you from the inside out 

When that feeling is gone, 
And all you feel is,
Hate, hate 
But the only thing that can drive out hate is, love

Maybe love will be my light, instead of my darkness one day
