Closed Door

Do you know that it hurts?
Do you know that I cry?
Do you know that I'm broken,
Deep down inside?

Do you know that I'm scared?
Do you know that I tried?
Do you know that I'm empty,
And I said my goodbyes?

I know you don't love me.
I don't blame you.
Because nobody sees
Behind closed doors.

I am a closed door.
A lock with no key.
I'm trapped inside
My world of Quiet.

Sarah

Sarah hangs her head down low.
she won't let them see her cry.
Nobody hears. Nobody cares.
No one's there to watch her die.

Sarah doesn't want to eat.
She starves away her fear.
Thinking if she lost a few more pounds,
She might just disappear.

Sarah starts to hate herself.
she can't bear to exist.
She's not strong. She's not brave.
So she puts a cut on each damned wrist.

Sarah's mind is a disease,
Her heart a hollow cave.
She doesn't fight. She doesn't hope.
She knows she can't be saved.

She frowned when no one looked
She sat with her friends at lunch
She wondered what they thought
Did they think about her?
She wondered if they wondered
If her smiles were real
She sat beside the boy in school
They held hands
And he thought she was beautiful
Just a girl
And not much else
