If you let me

Come with me, for you are wounded
Your soul cries out the pain that your eyes won’t
A smile you wear on the outside that hides what you feel on the inside

Why do you live like this?
Why do you take the harsh words they give you and use them to tear open your mind?
They think you are happy, so they try to destroy you

If only they knew what you are
A disaster…
A monster…

Not what you pose to be
A friend…
An athlete…

Do you like their childish taunts?
Is that why you hide in a shadow of happiness?
The so called friends who use beat on you
They used to bring you down even more when you were already at your breaking point

Now you can’t take it
The anger inside now comes out all around you
You hurt the ones you love
You make friends of the ones you hate
Joining in on bringing pain to others
Still so weak on the inside, you look strong on the outside
You think falling into peer pressure will ease your loneliness
You’re wrong…
It’s only killing you

What happened to the old you?
The one who strived for nothing but the best
Friend of everyone, enemy of no one
You were so happy, so smart
Don’t you know I can help?
You don’t have to cry yourself to sleep every night
You only need the strength to put up the fight
We can get through this
If only you see
I can save you
If you let me
