As the light fades to black,
I allow my eyes to close...
Brief moments of clarity. then a long stretch of...
The things we say when the others not around
Are the feelings the same...
I wonder if you hear me at night,
screaming out your name...
People think I'm bad,
But they dont know me at all...
I tried to end all the pain in a quiet comfortable...
Took fifty pills. Put on fresh clean clothes. And...
I write to you today,
to tell you how I feel...
I'm anorexic.
I'm suicidal...
She looks at the world through watered eyes
Holding on to the hope that she will get her final...
This pain, this hurt,
Locked away in my head...
I am a African American.
I see my family beat...
I am the tear rolling down your cheek
I am what falls when you're depressed and weak...
