2 Steps Behind

2 Steps Behind

I don’t get it! I’m confused.
I’m lost now, and I no longer choose.

Sure, I have friends, and I can tell them things, they have my trust.
But they don’t know what I’m going through. They don’t see that I’ve fallen behind and I’m lost in their dust.

Inside I’m bleeding and screaming so loud!
The scars are getting deeper everyday and I’m not proud.
Although I’m hurt, all my pain is kept inside.
I’ve never done anything to my body that’s bad. And if someone said I have, they LIED!

Ya, I play sports and I’m in the band. But when I’m alone, I have to take out my heart and hold it in my hands.
I listen to music to escape, to just let go. Cuz inside my heart, the pain is so intense, so strong, you could never know!

People say I’m quiet, I tell them I have nothing to say. But deep inside I am screaming out exactly why I feel this way.

I’m trying to get you used to the silence, for that’s how it’s going to be.
All I want to do is ease you from the pain, for when I will no longer be.

powerful... very very powerful and well written... the rhyming flowed wonderfully and the message was loud and clear and filled with meaning... good write, sad, but it was good
