Everytime I close my eyes
I pray that somehow they won't open again

Sometimes I stop breathing just to check I'm still alive

Go ahead and tell me I'm not worth it! Then maybe I can be worthless and forget the effort of being somebody loved.

Secretly just a shell of a person
Willing my body to move
Just so know one will know
I am dead inside
Empty.

Sometimes my silence speaks louder than your words

Absently smiling through the tears you don't see because the pain I feel you couldn't understand

Until the day that you can choose
I'm screaming stay away
And since I'm only dead to you
Stop visiting my grave!

Smile as if you mean it. They can't tell the difference

Just smiling at our memories
Broken as they seem,
Lighting up the darkness
Which hides fading dreams

Sticks and stones can break her bones
But looks and words will starve her
