Traumatized

I wish people could understand

 

That I am traumatized

 

That I used to wake up in the middle of the night screaming

 

Expecting to die

 

I was broken then

 

And I am just glued back together now

 

But I fall apart sometimes

 

And I still wake up thinking I'm dying

 

Sometimes

 

But now I don't scream

 

I just silently cry

 

Cause I've learned to quiet myself

 

To convince others I am fine

 

But it's gotten so hard to lie
