  trying to see through the
faults of my own skin
how I hate it so much!
I try to cover up the bruises
with a long sleeve shirt
but that doesn't take away
the hurt or the pain
of me being me.

  nothing makes me happy anymore
I haven't smiled for over
six years now;
the bottle seems to be my best friend
and loneliness is a close second.

  when will this all go away?
I just pray that;
no wait I don't do that anymore
I just wish that;
no not that either;
my wishes never come true
I just want; yes that's it
I just want to
wake up happy like the rest of you
for once in my life
before my sadness drowns it all away.
