you don't know what its like.







I pray you don't know what its like, 
To be drowning in your head,
To gasp for breath and hold on to life,
When all you want is to forget.

I pray you don't know what its like, 
To cry yourself to sleep
To wake up drenched in salty tears, 
And curse reality. 

I pray you don't know what its like ,
To turn up the corners of your mouth, 
And shake your head ,
 keep your eyes down. 

I pray you don't know what its like, 
To hold back those tears, 
To hide your feelings and bury them deep, 
And sprinkle them with fears. 

I pray you don't know what its like, 
To bottle up your pain, 
I pray you never have to know what it's like, 
To live like me everyday.
