All I Know of Life

all i really know are tears
hiding in shadows to avoid lifes promises
giving up chances instead of getting my hopes up
living unfullfillingly until someone tells me to stop.
if no ones cares, it'll be a normal day
no pity on me, this is just my way
you can hold me down, but i wasn't planning on leaving
and please remember, looks can be decieving.
i get up sometimes hoping for moonlight again
sheltered myself, no one can get in
i complain about lonliness but i'll shut you out
and i'll make you resent me without having a doubt.
when i was happy, i took it away from myself
there's nothing left
but i'm still breathing
sort of hoping for the next day
