I'm only fifteen

by Hayley   Jul 30, 2005


I’m hiding in my bedroom alone from everything.
Hoping no one will check on me,
For the knife is in my skin
Not on my wrist, in a place that you wont ever see.

Each day I smile, a fake one, all the time.
And each night I cry, tears silent so you won’t hear.
That I am tired sad and hopeless, my life’s a crime.
Why should I live each day in sadness and in fear?

I’m only fifteen and some nights I have to drink myself to sleep.
I’m only fifteen and there are more cuts than freckles on my body.
I’m only fifteen and those cuts are way too deep.
I’m only fifteen and I hide inside my body.

I’m too young to want to die.
Too young to have to hide.
I’m too young to have to lie,
And to keep pretending that my soul hasn’t already died.

I’m only fifteen but my smile I’ve left behind.
I’m only fifteen to young to live depressed.
