If They Knew

If they knew me

what would they say,

would they see i'm broken

or still think i'm okay?

would they try to help

or turn the other cheek?

because quitting takes strength

and i'm one of the weak.

i swear i'm trying

but what can i do?

walk a mile in my shoes

and see what i go through.

society is cruel

life is a cheat

so on my knees

i accept defeat

i want to escape

i want to run away

to a place where reality

doesn't lock me away.
