- Sadness -

Abandoned
Confused
Hurt
Suicide.

Stay strong, 
I'm weak
Everyone's beautiful,
Except me.

My life,
Full of lies
Where no one 
Believes me.

They hurt me
Inside,
But I refuse 
To let them know.

Hiding how I feel
Lying that I'm fine
Feeling very lonely,
But still trying to hide.

Hide behind the lies,
They have said 
So I am 
Exactly how they see me.

I'm ugly, 
Stupid,
A liar,
Many more.

What the say,
It hurts me inside
But if I let it show
It'd prove that I'm weak.

I'm too afraid
To ask someone,
What am I supposed to do?
Too afraid. 

A scaredy-cat,
Abuser, 
Mommy's girl,
Total: loser.

I admit, 
I want to die
Everyone hates me
Confusing lies.

All I want,
Someone to believe me
And who doesn't
Pay attention to my flaws.

My trust issues,
Low self-esteem,
Depression,
All those things.

Just one person,
Who doesn't believe the lies
Loves me for me
And will help me stay alive....
