He feels weaker every morning;

physically, mentally, and emotionally.

The funny thing is, nobody can tell.

It's because he hides it so well

True love was forever lost. The prince was never coming back to kiss me awake from my

enchanted sleep. I was not a princess, after all. So what was the fairy-tale protocol for other

kisses? The mundane kind that didn't break any spells?"

These bandages cover more

than my cuts and bruises.

These bandages cover my

regrets and mistakes.

I'll write it in blood so it stains the walls.

Hand prints trail down the hall.

The bottel on the floor, The cuts on my arms.

Your useless words

Won't keep me from harm

HIs friends lie to him.

His 'brother' just doesn't care.

And you wonder why he

loves his alchol so much

Shinning bottel, you never let me down.

one more drink,

and I'd think I was a step closer to forgetting this pain

He pulled the trigger

his mask fell to the floor

with a shatter .

Trying to forget the scars,

Only makes you realize

Why you put them there

In the first place.

A glass here, a bottle there, I can't help it

Alone in my bedroom at night,

Maybe I'll just drink a little bit,

And make sure the door's locked tight

My eyes hurt from crying,

my heart aches from trying,

my throat burns from drinking,

and in the end.

I still have nothing

A Broken Mirror, A Bleeding Fist

A Bottle Piece Against A Wrist

Tears Falling Down To Lips Unkissed

Ignore Him And He Won't Exist

He's Not The Kind You'll Come To Miss

The first thing kids did in kindergarten

was get shown a picture of an apple and two oranges,

then pick out which ones didn't belong.

The first thing they were taught was that being different is wrong.

It's 2 AM and

He's lying on his bed

Staring at the ceiling

All these thoughts in his head

Just so confused

Doesn't know what to do

In need of someone to talk to

But doesn't know who

So he just lies there.

His eyes fixed on the ceiling

With his headphones blaring

But

He's hearing.

NOTHING.

He self destructs but you wouldn't know;

He does it to know that he has control over something;

He does it because no one was there for him;

But he hides so well

He was so fucking perfect on the outside.

No wrinkles in his clothes, not a hair out of place.

But underneath his eighty dollar jean jacket

Lie a patchwork of gashes

That seemed to never end.

But nobody ever would have guessed

His life's starting to fall apart

But he holds it all inside

Not wanting to explain or knowing where to start

Just looking for some place to hide

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry for not being good enough.

I'm sorry that I wasted my time thinking I was.

I'm sorry that I just can't be perfect
