The Life of a Teenager

Shed a couple tears, I’m done crying,
Pushing people away, I’m done trying,
I always do the stupidest things,
And I don’t think before I do them.
I sometimes wonder why people put up with me,
Or why they even care.
I’m torn and messed up,
I hide what I’m truly feeling.
Do you even see the broken girl behind the smile?
I do, I do because I’m her,
I hide my true feelings,
And you can tell I’m so torn because I hide them so well,
I smile and act happy for my family,
I’ve always put them through enough,
I know they can’t take anymore,
I keep my feelings to myself and hide in the shadows,
My music is my release,
Without it I would be nothing,
I would be even more broken.
Discovering Avenged Sevenfold saved me,
They saved me from myself so many times,
Whenever I’m down I blast my music and get lost in a fantasy world,
A fantasy world so amazing, its too good to be true,
Sometimes I wish I could stay in that fantasy world,
But I know that I have to come back to reality,
A reality I don’t want to face,
A reality far too real for me.
