Screamed Promises

I scream and cry 

But only on the inside

I sit here and think

What should i do

I'm drowning on the inside

I wish you knew

I hide from al those around

I make not one sound

Let the tears fall only in seclusion

As they fall

I begin to think look how weak you've become

If only someone would see

My hidden scars have begun to show

I laugh as I watch the blade

I've become so numb

I don't feel a thing

I've broken so many promises

Only so they'll think I'm happy on the inside

If only they knew their promises never worked
