"Stop Pretending"

You see the pain in my eyes

But you no longer care

Slowly as my human soul dies

You stand by and stare

 

I know I have changed

I'm not doing well

But you too would have changed

If you'd experienced my hell

 

I was abused

I would cut so I could cope

I felt abnormally confused

I felt like I had no hope

 

I don't want your fake smiles

All I want is friend

Someone who would help me through miles

And be there until the end
