They don't know
I walk beside them
invisible
every day my shadow
cast with theirs
but they don't see me
they think I live and move
but I am dead
if blood and breath
mean life then I live
but I am dead inside
every moment I hurt
every second I bleed
and watch them all laugh
and sparkle with life
so bright, so beautiful
in the dark
They don't know
I am dead inside
they think everything is fine
everything is alright
but everything is not
not to me
not anymore
