This fatal wound,

is too much to bear,

it's invisible to you,

but i know it's there,

You can see it in my demeanor,

and feeble smile,

laughing on the outside,

but crying all the while,

You've broken me down,

bit by bit,

after every blow,

and every hit,

Taken me,

until there was nothing left,

no more happiness,

only regret,

I cry and scream,

as you beat me again,

i'm like an injured animal,

locked inside a pen,

I want to leave,

but i know what you'd do,

my body would be broken,

my eyes black and blue,

It seems as if,

there's no way out,

no one to tell,

or hear me shout,

I'm getting closer to the edge,

ready to jump,

the last thing that you'll hear,

is a muffled thump,

You'll all stand at the grave site,

and wonder why,

none of you knew,

my perfect life was a lie
