Don't tell

People don't want to know:
It makes them feel uncomfortable.
What can they say once they realize
How much I hated the woman I was starting to be.

Instead they just make me feel guilty
for trying to run away from my reality :
A home that was wrecked, a family that played pretend;
Despite how it appeared to be, my life was sometimes insane.

People don't want to know,
Ashamed they didn't see
That I felt worthless and miserable,
and punished myself by hurting my body.

Instead they act as if nothing ever went wrong,
making my story sound like someone else's sad song.
So the woman I am cannot say,
That she still gets scared every other day.
