I Died While Living

Hidden from y'all Broken heart from loving another Crushed dream for believing the media Buried life for not fitting in Are we to fit into life? Or fade with the passing days? Scared of dying Do not want to live either Smokes Drugs Fill the sack labelled me Got a heart leading to nothing Tired Hoping to live an extra day Wearing the best smile Hanging my fears in a wardrobe Visit at night While I sit in comfort of pain Cutting my wrists Making a hole through the wall with clenched fists Got my robes soaked in a red river (Drowning in my blood) Wishing death visits before morning Hope you'll notice someday Not in black clothes I lived for another The comforting lies you got fed I was not a happy soul.
