• I am suffering in silence
    I wonder why they hate me
    I hear the laughter
    I see the scoffs
    I want to be accepted
    I am suffering in silence

    I pretend I am okay but
    I feel the pain everyday
    I touch the blade to my skin
    I worry I'll get caught. Why do they drive me to this?
    I cry myself to sleep
    I am suffering in silence

    I understand I can't be happy
    I say I don't care but...
    I dream of acceptance
    I try to hard
    I hope, but hope is hopeless, so now and likely forever
    I am suffering in silence.
