Hanging By A Thread

by brokengirl   Jun 9, 2010


Everyday I put a smile on my face
only to make you happy
but maybe today i don't want to.
It's just one of those days where I want to disappear
& get away from everything and everyone
because I hate my life here
I don't remember what being happy feels like
it's been so long.
Nothing seems to make sense anymore
Sadness is who I am
Happiness is all pretend
Depression is all around me
Death is my friend

Maybe when I laugh it's a cry for help
because no one will listen to my tears.

Maybe I've tried to turn into a happy person
but I don't even know who I am anymore

Maybe I don't want to let you in
because all you'll do is hurt me.

Maybe I don't want to talk about it
because I'm ashamed.

The ache in my heart could kill me
I'm haning by a thread, watch me collapse.

    I've been there done things im not proud of. i've become a shadow in my own life. i'm just a girl who thinks life is worth living because i have someone who cares. im no therapist and i've gone through bs like this. its harder and harder with every waking moment. i've destroyed my life and have been sent to a psych ward. yeah i know i sound kind of crazy. i've been to hell and back. but all id o is remember why im on this earth. i think to the days when everything was all fine and dandy but then again i just dont know who or what i am. im just a lost girl with no hope or reasoning in the world
