Outcast

Copyright Melissa

I try to breathe,
and close my eyes,
all this pain rushes inside,
scarred up body,
Bloody wrists,
No chance of happiness,
No chance of bliss.
I hide it with my makeup,
pretend it's all okay.
day by day it eats me,
at my heart and mind,
I react by cutting over and over
Even more this time.
I cry tears of anger,
of everyone who didn't see,
Never payed attention,
Never cared for me,
I die here all alone,
No one let to see,
Of what I could became to be,
I never had my happy moments,
I forgot all about fun,
They treated me like dirt,
All they could see,
Was the outside,
but that wasn't me.
So what if I'm not perfect,
That will not bring me shame,
I was different,
I wasn't the same.
