They Never Know Me, by No Child Is Innocent Once Born Subscribe to rss feed for No Child Is Innocent Once Born

They don't know me,
Don't know me inside,
Of the tears I cry.
Or the pain I hide.

The cuts I cause,
The blood I spill,
The hours I spend,
Planning my death and will.

The hole I sink into,
The dreams I see,
How much I hate myself,
Hate ugly pathetic me.

I draw pictures slowly,
And scare them all away,
Can't you tell that I'm dying?
That I'm really not ok?!!!

I can't take this,
Or do this anymore,
I fall to my knees,
And break on the floor.

It's all too much,
This is no life to live,
I can take just enough,
But he still gives.

It just never stops,
I just fall,
There is nobody there,
To catch my fall.

My screams remain silent,
My scars all unseen,
My words unsaid,
Stories of where I've been.

My secrets concealed,
Life a terrible mess,
I can never change,
So I will never confess.

And they will never know me,
No, never ever inside,
Or see the tears I cry,
Or the secrets I hide.
