They say I'm gentle, I'm kind, I'm safe
They say "we need more people like you, in this cruel, bitter world"
They say, "you bring a smile on my face"
"You bring light and warmth, in times of darkness"
They say they see improvements,
They can tell my effort is real
They say I learned to manage stress,
and that I'm now a little more healed
They say they feel inspired,
By my journey, of struggle and pain
They say that I'm recovered now
But I just don't feel the same
They say I've came so far, that
I've learned and changed and grown
But so many times, I've cried all night
And at mornings I feel so low
I keep crying, I just want the pain to go away
I keep thinking of dying, my past haunts me every day
The images wont leave me alone
I still keep on trying, I'm not hiding from people as much as before
but I feel drained out.
I just don't know, anymore

I like how you started a lot of the stanzas with "they say."
Do you ever get a little bit tired of life
Like you're not really happy but you don't wanna die
Like you're hanging by a thread but you gotta survive
'Cause you gotta survive
I agree with Dez, I like that as well. I can really relate to this so thank you for sharing it. I especially like this part.

If clarity's in death, then why won't this die?
Years of tearing down our banners, you and I
Living for the thrill of hitting you where it hurts Give me back my girlhood, it was mine first
You have a great gift, I too love to write to express my emotions. I empathize completely about where you're coming from.. It's hard to face such obstacles and feel like no one can see your pain even when you're trying to hide it.
