A Bad Thought

No one knows the real me,

That’s just the way it has to be.

I can’t set the truth free.

Suddenly day turns to night,

Something doesn’t feel right.

My emotions begin to fight.

Asking myself why oh why,

I am the only one who must try?

To stop the tears falling when I cry.

Everyone please just stay away,

No I don’t want to play.

Nothing is ever okay.

Hate to eat barely fed,

Angry thoughts flow through my head.

Always wishing I was dead.

Guess that means I’ll never get ahead.
