Me

I wish that I could tell you 
why I feel the need to cry. 
Nothing matters, I just don't care,
I don't know why.

I guess I hate myself more 
than anyone can know. 
I know my family loves me 
so I can never let it show.

I know it makes no sense 
to any one but me.  
I'm sad, I'm mad, I'm hurt, 
I just wish I could be free.

If he only knew what 
was in my heart, he'd know.
that no one is more disgusted, 
he'd see why I'm so low. 

The thing I look forward to 
is going into the light.
I know then I'll be happy, 
everything'll finally be alright.

I wish that I could be 
the person you want me to be. 
I just don't have the energy 
to try to become a new ME.

I love my family more 
than any of you will ever know. 
My heart's just so sad 
so of course it does't show.

I promise when I leave this world, 
I won't be far away. 
Just think of me and I'll be there, 
every single day. 

Sparkles on the ocean 
and diamonds in the snow. 
That's me with the angels 
finally smiling,  that I know

So don't be sad, I'll be happier 
than I have ever been. 
And soon we'll be together, 
and all will be serene.
