I’m that girl no one knows. I’m friends with the kids no one understands. I love the music no one likes. I write the story no one wants to read. I live the life no one wants to lead. We are the kids no one wants to know. We play the music no one wants to hear. We write the poems no one wants to read. We live the lives no one wants to live. You are the kid no one knows. You love the music no one likes. You write the story no one wants to write. You live the life no one wants to lead. How’s it feel? I hide from the world. We hide from the world. You hide from the world. Now you know what it’s like to be like me. To be the kid that no one sees.

No I’m not ok. Can’t you see I’ve never been that way? There’s something inside me that never fails, to break me down to cries and wails. I can’t find a fix. I can’t find a cure. I’m stuck with this sickness. Stuck for sure. Where’s the antidote to my disease? Help me find it. Help me please? My life is swirling down the drain. Help with my life. With my pain. I tried to stand strong but I’ve been breaking all along. Who are you to try and understand? Who are you to take my hand? Say its all fine. Tell me it’ll be better down the line? Where’s the antidote to my disease? Help me find it. Help me please? My disease won’t go. Its here to last. Someone help me and help me fast. Help me please? Cure my disease? I’ve gotta stand up nice and tall. Work through the pain through it all. But I fall to pieces every time. It’s not just me on the line. This killing sickness, this draining disease. Keeps me swinging on a high trapeze. I know it’s soon when I’m gonna fall. I don’t know at all. Who I’m supposed to be. To get rid of what’s ailing me. You don’t know how I feel. You don’t understand that it’s all real. That life just tries to bring me down. It’s not a joke cause I’m no clown. Well I’m sick I need my medicine. Hey guess what? The doctors in. I said hey guess what? The doctors in!

You and me
Are mired in misery
We can't let go
And we can't say no
Tied to each other
Yet killing one another
We push pull and fight
Argue through out the night
But we kiss through the days
And so our love stays
So maybe its not perfect
Maybe its all wrong
But wrong feels so right
When you pull me in tight
You can't walk away
When I keep begging you to stay
We know that this is wrong
We've known it all along
But I'd give anything to make it right
Anything for you to love me through the night

Let the scars stay
For through the scars
Shines the soul
Through the scars
We show our past
We show where we fought
Where we've lost
And where we've pulled through
So let the scars stay
For through our scars
We find ourselves

Where I come from isn't all that great
My education was a piece of crap
My morals are a little whacked
And my friends are just as screwey as me
We didn't eat fancy foods
Happiness was out of reach
We weren't going anywhere
Had no money in our pockets
Still we knew
Someday we'd make it big
Rise above it all
Like the stars did
But that godforsaken town
Swallowed so many lives
Now Dom's doing 25 to life
Catie had a baby
And Justin lost to his own knife
The cops know our names by heart
Cause we spend more time in jail then home
And mothers hide their children
When we walk down the street
Cause we are the kids
Raised on broken dreams

Remember when you were young?
Your eyes shone bright like the sun.
Had no worries, had no care,
And everything in life was fair.
Tears came only from bruised knees,
Not from broken dreams.
Your backyard was your kingdom,
Your sandbox the palace,
Your best friend the king.
You had no worries of broken hearts,
Only broken toys.
Mom was your role model,
Dad was your hero.
You were infinite
And full of promise.
Death didn't haunt your mind,
Cause you knew you'd never die.
Hell was a ***** word,
Not where you lived.
Unbroken hearts,
Unbroken dreams,
Unbroken promises,
Unbroken homes.
Remember when you were young?
Your heart was full of hope.

You are the passion that makes your eyes light up
The words that escape your cracked lips
And the thoughts that keep you warm on a cold night
You are your crooked smile
Your broken fingers
Your scarred legs
And the words that flow from your pen like tears
But most importantly
You are your own
