every day i fight to survive
as i struggle to show a smile
to force a smile
a laugh

with every thought i have
throughout the harsh days
i die inside

so now i'm fading away 
as the seconds tick by
my soul no longer exists
as it has faded away completely

as i continue to leave scars
upon my fabric of being
i'm torn in knowing
in feeling this pain

so i'll just continue to die
slowly from the inside out
