Scared
Nobody understands us
nobody understands our feelings
everyone thinks either we should get over it
stand up to it
get out of there life
or stop being a baby
nobody understands our real feelings
when we cry themselves to sleep every night
or go into depression
or get sick
or kill ourselves
its not because we pity ourselves
or hate ourselves
its because we are scared
we are terrified
to us its like living with the knowledge
that we are going to get killed every day
come back but with one less part of ourselves that night
then get killed again and again until we eventually fall apart
we are scared out of our skin
we are scared for what is going to happen to ourselves
and what it is going to do to our loved ones
if we kill ourselves its because we don’t want to put our loved ones through the pain of what is happening to us
we think it will end there pain quicker
We wish they would understand that by killing ourselves
it gets the pain away and stops the our being scared quicker
for us
for everyone
nobody understands how scared we are
nobody but us.
