‘Everything will be fine’

That’s all they ever say

The people who hold onto their flimsy beliefs

That nothing is wrong with me

I wish they could see who I really am

Underneath my skin, the skin I loathe

It traps me

Pulling me so far down

‘Nothing is fine’

If they only knew

I would make them pay for everything they’ve ever done to me

They never cared

Hollow smiles and false eyes

The skin I regret, clinging to the darkness

The secrets I keep in my skin

‘When will things be fine’

The question I ask myself day after day

I want to be rid of this empty life

The life that I am not living

My skin screams at me

My cynical skin

The only thing that understands me

‘Everything is fine’

I have fooled myself into thinking this is the truth

If only I can say goodbye one last time

I used to be scared of the end

Until I wasn’t
