This Is Life As I Know It

Family fights
Scared of heights
Claustrophobic
This is life as I know it

Great friends
The best friends I could have
Great boyfriend
The best I've ever had

Scared of being alone
Wishing I could disappear
Knowing I'm fading away
This is life as I know it

I have a talent for poetry
I have a talent for photography
Make friends everywhere I go
This is life as I know it

I seem happy
When just under the surface
I'm depressed and cracking
This is life as I know it

Wishing I died
So many tears I've cried
So hard I've tried
This is life as I know it

School about kills me
Why won't they just let me be me?
Music is my only escape
This is life as I know it

I'm never good enough
I may be short but I'm tough
I'm caring
Sometimes daring

I've cut myself
I've attempted suicide
No one cares about my personal battles
This is life as I know it
