Lost Forever

They caused me pain and frustration,
So now it's my turn to repay them for what they have done,
Give 'em back what they gave to me,
and send them on their way.

They never knew-They never did see,
How much pain I was in,
How they were slowly killing me.

Keeping everything locked up tight inside,
Never sharing how I really felt,
Lying to the world-Lying to myself.

So many people-Adults and my peers,
They try so hard to get me to open up,
It's hard to do-that's not a secret,
So I push them all away,
insisting I'm perfectly fine.

Being strong on the outside,
and falling apart on the in,
That's how it's been for many years,
But I'm sure it will all be over soon,
Because I'm finally getting better.

I'm starting to unlock and open doors,
Hard thing to do but I know I have to,
Can't keep staying lost forever.
