I'm Still Here

Silence spills into the air

No one hears me

No one cares

I can scream as loud as I want

But no one will understand

Why should I have to hide

My pain?

Why is what I've done

Such a shame?

There's one thing you should know

I'm still here

My heart's still beating

Hanging on, but just barely breathing

Invisible to you

And silent all the way through

I'm still here

My family believes

That everything is my fault

And my friends,

Well they don't know me at all

I feel so isolated

The only one

With this intensive pain

I still have feelings

Including dread

Yet here I stand

Basically dead

I'm still here

I'm still hurting

Hanging on, but slowly slipping

Invisible to you

And silent all the way through

I'm still here

Scars fade away

But they'll always betray

The emotions I feel

None of this even feels real

Now I wait for this to die away

I'm still here

And still hurting

But I'm hanging on,

A little more firmly

Just a fraction of me left

But I'm still here

I'm still here…
