could they pick you out of a crowd
could they scream your name out loud
could they kill your social life
stab it in the back with a sharp knife
you go home and drown your room in tears
this has been going on for so many years
how much more of this shit can you take
every morning you don't even want to wake
a social outcast with a heart that bleeds
cause no one ever gives it the love it needs
chorus
every little grain of sand
matters more than you ever can
every piece of shattered glass
comes before you because you're last
every ghost is more visible than your heart
the one that they have ripped and torn apart
the only time you are ever seen
is when you are being bullyed and beat
so breathe, you just breathe like before
but can't you see it's better to breathe no more
so breathe no more
disconnected from everyone else that's around
picking the pieces of your heart up from the ground
but then another person steps on one of the pieces
and then they push you around and give you another reason
another reason to break, another reason to want to dissappear
cause it's obvious no one would really miss you being here
can't you run away, never hear their voices or see their faces again
can't you close your eyes and dream of another life and play pretend
why does it have to be like this, why won't anyone help you out
why does all these people around you just leave you with doubt
chorus
your eyes start to bleed as the tears fall
you go numb until you can't feel anything at all
your heart starts to kill itself from the pain
the blood cells start to blowup in your brain
why should you live any longer, why should you breathe
if the fact that you are different is all that they see
then why not just die, why not just end it all today
if all you are going to go through is hell every single day
chorus
This captures the pain of being picked on and bullied and being so mad you can't take it anymore...probably explains why lots of teen suicides happen...they just cannot deal with the cruelty of fellow humans and choose the only way out they know to escape it all forever...it is really sad but true....Kudos to you for bringing it out in the open and sharing the painful thoughts...Now if we could only REALLY DO SOMETHING about it, but feel so helpless and hopeless...that is the scary part...what to do and how to do it...but great poem Em...Lots of influential thoughts expressed...I hope everyone listens and hears and tries to do something about it...Pam
I don't even know what to say... purely a masterpiece.
