My life is twisted and broken,
I see all these people around me so happy,
It makes me smile to see them like that,
But I know deep down that I will never be like that...
They tell me that people with depression only want attention,
But why can't they understand that it is so much more then that,
I can't help how I feel and I don't want their attention or sympathy..
They say they have no respect for people that do what I do...
But why can't they understand I do it because it leaves me numb and that is better then the pain inside,
Its like I'm getting rid of all the sadness inside me,
They can be who they are and no one judges them,
So why can't I be who I am and not be judged,
I need them to understand...
