It’s hard to believe it So much hasn’t gone your way But I know that if you keep trying You are going to be okay

I know there’s nothing I can say to convince you that you didn’t mess up to stop you from being cruel to yourself or beating yourself up

It’s okay to gaze at the stars and dream of holding them even though it may hurt if you never reach them

On the ground I lie my wings, broken and bloody My flame is going out as I let the darkness take me

Dread rakes its claws through my brain Sowing the seeds of doubt Spreading terror through my mind reminding me that I don’t deserve this

We’ve seen what happens when people are so scared of what’s different, of what they don’t understand that they feel that the only way to deal with it is to turn to violence

Why can’t everyone see how broken I am inside? How terrible I am? The monster behind my eyes

My world is falling apart Crashing down around me as life throws one blow after another at me

I’m drifting all alone Trying desperately to atone for all the horrible things I’ve done Wishing for life to be fun But I’ve made too many mistakes So I put on smiles, all fakes Because forgiveness can’t be found After everything I’ve done, sleep isn’t sound But if I look through all the darkness I know somewhere, I will find forgiveness Cos even though I am not perfect I know in my heart that I am worth it

This time, you failed Your best wasn’t enough You couldn’t cut it Your job was too tough
