Hope From The Hopeless

Why do I keep on hoping if nothing turns out right

If the battles I've been fighting leave me alone and broken

Maybe one day I'll look back and smile

That strength has sprouted after the endless night

Its been years and I'm running in my place

Never getting better, always feeling worse

The constant ache in my heart keeps me awake

At 4 am, here I am, with tears paving their way down my face

In the bathroom, lying on the cold floor

Unable to breathe without feeling the weight of it all

Punching the walls in hope I break my bones

Let me feel something, anything at all

Still, the fake smile remains plastered on my face

Ask me how I feel and I'll smile and play my little game

Of feeling fine, and alright, and not in pain

To protect you from the darkness that lies within
