I'll cry alone in my room

Keep them away

I drown out the voices alone

I pretend that I am happy

Plastic

Oh that's right my candy corn lips gloss smile.

Glitter on my eyes

Maybe it will hide the tears that cry

SCREAMING I WANT TO DIE
but it is a secret inside

I want to show the world my prison

My heart is black

But to who?

Who is not going to run when I open Up?

When I throw up

It is all green inside

Slime that I never asked for

Memories of the demons while I drive at night

hanging in the trees shrills that calls into the night

That was me

This is who I am

Make the bad things stop
Make them go away
