Tears unshed

They tell her she'll never make it
she's a waste of space
"fake it till you make it"
but she can't keep up with that pace

the words reverberate in her head
painful tears unshed
she lies sad and lonely in her bed
and takes a blade to her wrist instead

happiness is too hard
it hurts to even smile
life's delt her a bad card
she can't make it another mile

the words reverberate in her head
painful tears unshed
she lies sad and lonely in her bed
and takes a blade to her wrist instead

she hurts deeply inside
she cries out in silence
she has no one with which to confide
her dark, shameful secret of violence

the words reverberate in her head
painful tears unshed
she lies sad and lonely in her bed
and takes a blade to her wrist instead

she's been left all alone
she's confused and lost
no one's there on the phone
will they ever know the cost?

the words reverberate in her head
painful tears unshed
she lies sad and lonely in her bed
and takes a blade across her wrist instead
