Heartbroken, but Resilient
I’ve been crying all day long,
No one sees me, no one knows,
Everyone thinks nothing is wrong.
Perfect boy, perfect girl,
Just a screwed family,
And a mask above my face.
Problems come, problems go,
I’m just the center
And I didn’t do anything wrong,
No one sees me, no one knows,
And in this fight I’m just a ghost.
Double face, double life,
Just a pretty cover,
With a mess inside.
I’m just overwhelmed,
I’m done pretending,
I just want to give my life an ending.
I’m right in front their faces,
My skin is melting, my heart is bleeding, my eyes are aching,
I’m slowly fading away.
I can’t continue, but I keep trying,
It’s consuming me, it’s painful,
Why me?, why did you leave me?
Didn’t you love me?
Weren’t you my protector?
Why aren’t you fighting for me?
Did I do anything wrong?
Are you hearing me?
Don’t you see me becoming a lunatic?
Is this what you want?
Do I really want this?
Do I really want to end my life?
Does my family deserve this additional pain?
And for days I have been looking for a reason to stay, to live,
and then I met you,
who keeps me going, that loves me,
who showed me life is worth living,
and that without pain, happiness can’t exist.
And for a minute, just a minute,
I felt like maybe I could beat this,
and I decided to give my life a second chance.
