Is it better to speak or to die?

to keep it bottled up till you can’t

Smile outward, keep it bright

Make sure they don’t see the pain inside

Your perfect image is everything

Not a single fracture can come undone

Keep your posture in public

Scream and cry when you’re alone

That feeling of abandonment, keep it tucked inside

You think he cares that you’re broken?

No, he just thinks you’re weak and useless

Never let the fight in you run out

Because then all they’ll see is you

A girl who couldn’t even get her father to love her
