Whisper to a scream

When I open my mouth no sound
I feel like a dead corpse that’s never been found
Sometimes I feel tears that make my eyes swell
Feels as if I’m walking in a living hell
You see me smile everyday
But did you know I hurt myself in a lot of ways

I smile that’s the fear
I blush that’s a tear
I laugh that’s pain
I’m quiet that’s slit of a vein

Really surprises me
How I make it so obvious but you still don’t see
I have so many wounds that I don’t know if they can heal
And just by looking at me you think you know how I feel
But guess what you don’t
And you won’t

I smile that’s the fear
I blush that’s a tear
I laugh that’s pain
I’m quiet that’s slit of a vein

Please don’t be alarmed
These are only scars across my arms
See for most of my life
All I could do is stay hiding behind a knife

I smile that’s the fear
I blush that’s a tear
I laugh that’s pain
I’m quiet that’s slit of a vein

I have never been in jail but I look at my scars
Makes me feel as if I put myself behind bars
It’s crazy how things may never be the way they seem
But this is my whisper to a scream
