Scared to death of your hallucinations
Clinging to the only bit of hope still alive
Hearing voices telling you to die
In so much mental distress each day
Zipping your lips afraid to speak
Offering anything to take the pain away
Paranoid thinking people are out to get you
Hollow and empty inside of yourself
Running from imaginary threats
Entering a world no one else can imagine
No one to hold you or comfort you
Ignoring the pain and faking a smile
Continuing to breathe one breath at a time
