This story began when I was fourteen

And I learned that life is mean

I never have been one to show my emotions

And I've managed to bury them in the ocean

It all began that fateful day

I woke up, and nothing felt ok

"It will pass," I told myself

I never thought I would lie to myself

I thought it would go away

But it never did as the days passed day by day

I was going mad

But at the same time I was sad

I know what people do

When they feel like I do

"Never will I ever," I lied again

All I needed was a friend

I can't tell my brothers, they wouldn't understand

That when I fell I didn't land

Now my dad is dead

And we lied him down on the bed

"Father, please, come back to us,"

And when he didn't I began to cuss

Now I don't care

Life's just not fair

My brother saved me

Why had he

Can't he see that I wish to be free

Maybe he wants to torture me

But he cried

And I sighed

I hate it when he cries

We all do

He screamed my name

He thought I was insane

Why can't he just let me go

Life pains me so

Four years I've seen this fucked up place

And tears have always stained my face

I always cry in the midst of the night

As I try to win this stupid fight

I don't really care anymore

It's just a lost cause that's poor

I tried to jump off the bridge last night

But Mikey didn't let me without a fight

I'm trying to escape this world now

Protecting my brothers was my vow

They don't need me now

I remember that each time I slide the glass across my skin

Why do I let the demons win

This is about the day I fell

And my name is Hamato Raphael
