Real

They tell me these feelings aren't real
this tormenting that i can feel
why they must be blind
they are so unkind

are these soft tears you see not there?
are these not scars that i wear?
how can they not see
this turmoil inside of me?

you say that it is just an illness
you say it's nothing more or less
how can you say that?
I'm hurting, thats a fact

you still say it won't stay
that everything will go away
well it's been 2 years
2 years of pain and tears

you tell me to keep holdin on
until this bad phase has gone
is that all it is to you?
I wonder what you would do

tell me what you would do then
if you were enclosed in my pen
see! you don't know
so please just go!
