No one knows, no one will ever know

 

I cried myself to sleep every night

He would hit me because I was weak

I couldn't put up much of a fight

I had nearly reached my peak

 

And no one knows, no one will ever know

 

I go to school the next day

A gracious smile on my face

Like I have nothing to say

They only see my plastic surface

 

AND STILL no one knows, and no one ever will know

 

The next morning there's more bruises

And hand prints on my neck

I'm the only one he abuses

He says I'm a wreck

 

No one knows, no one will ever know

 

I tremble walking to carpool

I see him! I can't show fear!

He calls me names much worse than a fool

Don't cry! Not here!

 

Because no one knows, and no one will ever know

 

I don't blame him though

He had it much worse

So this is all he knows

Is my life cursed?

 

Still... No one knows, no one will ever know

 

More Bruises and pain

I can't take it any more

My tears are falling again

I fall to the floor

 

No one knows, no one will ever know

 

I spot scissors in the corner

I slowly grasp them in both hands

I'm not an adapter

I'm too weak to stand

 

STILL NO ONE KNOWS AND NO ONE WILL EVER KNOW!

 

There is too much pain for me to bare

Death is the cure to my pain

I hope when I'm done that he'll finally care

In the door my sister stands with tears like rain

 

No one can help because no one knows, and no one will ever know

 

She runs to me and throws the weapon

She looks into my eyes

She makes a confession

She told me the stories that she hides

 

She knows, She had always known

 

He hits her too

I know I must live for her

Until her skies are blue

She won't be alone any longer

 

Live for those in your present

 

Two years pass, three of my dear friends know

I found out that my friends were hurting

My story made them realize they're not alone

I stopped two of my friends from dying

 

Live for those in your future

 

I'm now at peace with my past

I am still working to save her

I'm glad she got to me fast

If she didn't we would have died thinking we had nothing to live for

 

Live for those in your present and for those in your future
