Rotten

I scream I cry,
I wish I would die,
I'm rotten inside.
I want to crawl away and hide.

After all the attempts I've made to be free,
It hurts me how you can't see.
That how I feel is a masquerade,
to hide the scars that will not fade.
The black of my heart is so oblique,
Inside it makes me weak.
In one heart beat i could break down,
In my own tears i will drown.
An empty shell that is so faithless
Life seems to be so endless.
I need to remember to breathe,
I need to start to leave.
My cocoon of invisibility
Will only end up hurting me
Speak up about my fears,
Scream through all those tears.
Let the truth be known
Let the scars be shown
One day i'll be accepted
instead of feared and resented.

I scream, I cry
I wish i would die
Am i rotten inside?
