Eyes closed, imagine a world with no pain
My tears flow as I come to my senses
I hate these feelings, I might go insane
Hate those words that break down my defenses
Why do I care what people think or say?
Why do I care when people point and laugh?
I try not to care, I end up anyways
Trying to ignore hurt on there behalf
These voices that follow me everywhere
Voices that say only venomous things
All these voices that are always unfair
But then something in my heart starts to ring.
Listen, my heart knows all I've undergone.
Message from my heart, "Be strong and live on"

"You know you’re a writer if your friend tells you a heartbreaking story and your first reaction is – wow, that would make an incredible plot for a novel. You know you’re a smart writer if you manage to keep that reaction to yourself."
