Alive on the outside

the cold quiet ttorture withen my head

keeps picking away at my soul

demolishing my selfesteem

and my essence

my essence of life

to you I am alive

to myself I am dying

rotting from the inside

leaving a shell

a skin of my former self

on the inside I'm dead

but on the outside I still live
