I Am

i am hurt 
i am dying 
i am bruised 
and i am crying. 
i see black 
i see blue 
i see darkness when i see you
i run far, as far as i can but never really far
enough to understand
scream at you-yell your name 
you dont hear me
its all  the same 
cry your cry wipe your tears 
no one cares about your fears 
put on your mask to fool this place 
but when your alone show your face
let them, talk let them say
let them walk 
but they will pay
bat your eyes and 
walk on your toes 
give your best smile but it's all a pose
close your eyes
and think deep 
cry to yourself 'till you fall asleep. same 'ole thing 
everyday but no one will ever 
care anyway.
