Analysis of Worthless
Fighting my pain
hiding my tears,
my mask neither fades away
Nor my fears ;
Fear of scary puppets
sobbing in a corner,
ignoring all these problems
I am being a traitor ;
Voices that none of them can hear
shadows they can't see ; whispering in my ears
every night, they scare me ; Can't find the words to express this all,
like the tiny drops of rain
my hopes are beginning to fall ; Living in this illusion
I am tired of hallucinations,
don't know what to tell people
I am tired of lame explanations ; I know they think I am mad or something like that
I know they can't hear these threats ;
I know they think I can't hear them
I know behind these sympathetic smiles
I am being called worthless
