When you're down
When you feel everything is lost
When you only want it all
To be how it used to
When you can't get up
When you want to cry
When you wish you would die
You want to yell
And cry
And cuss
At the person you only
Want to hug
Want to make up with
Make a connection with
No matter how mad
They make you
No matter what they do
You can't seem to forget them
You can't seem to understand
Why they would do things
That would hurt you
That would make you die inside
That would make you want to
Curl into a ball
Like you were numb to the world
And as you think of them
You can feel the ball in your throat
And the tears in your eyes
So as I shake and cry and scream
You laugh and smile and even dance
As I am sad
You are happy
And as I'm numb and feel invisible
You are out there
Ready to face the world without me
In your life.
