Tell Them You're Ok

Take a deep breath,
Breathe out slow,
Walk through those school doors,
Forget last nights sorrow

Go through the day,
With a plastered smile,
Fake to your true friends,
Pretend you have a normal lifestyle

Always say your fine,
When people ask questions,
Never let your bruises slip,
Fear of rejection threatens

Try to be the person people think,
Hold your pride high,
For what would people say,
If they knew, at night, you cry?

Wait till dark falls,
To let the mascara tears flow,
Squeeze your eyes tight to make it stop,
Take another fist blow

Let him take out his frustrations,
Let him scar your mind and flesh,
Hitting until you seem hollow inside,
Each night its a replay, Refresh

Lie there when he's done,
Don't make a sound,
Silently beg consistantly that,
He leaves you on the ground

Let out the long withheld breath,
As he walks out of your room,
Crawl inside your little world,
Away from your bodies bruised gloom

Act like your mother cares,
And would stop daddy if she could,
If she wasn\'t high on drugs,
Be the mom she should

Cup your hands over your mouth,
As you try to quiet your sobs,
The hot salty tears run,
As your red welted side throbs

Wipe those tears away,
Limp over to the window,
Don\'t wish and pray anymore,
Lost faith in God long ago

Shower, go to bed, get up,
Another day begins,
Try to mend your broken soul,
Which every night, more and more thins

Take a deep breath,
Breathe out slow,
Walk through those school doors,
Forget last nights sorrow

Smile to the friends you know,
It helps you get through the day,
Lie to everyone you happen to meet,
And tell them you're okay...
