It's better to be hated for what you are than to be loved for what your not.

The day goes by
I fix things
I break them
I fix them again
The day goes by
Not a single thing
Will ever change
Write me up
Tear me down
It breaks
I fix it
But yet
I still can't even
Fix, myself
Because I am
That girl that cries the most
Yet puts on that smile on
I am
The girl that dries up the rest
When I can't even dry my own
The day goes by
I can't even tell me
What you save me from
Those thoughts
The heartbreaking thoughts
The monsters inside my head
You saved me from those thoughts
The day goes by
Thank you

Just letting the thoughts run free. Letting the thoughts come out.
