*Tragedy*

This anger deep inside of me,
Fueled by people's comments through the years;
Why can't they just let me be?
Can't they see my eyes are filled with tears?

I'm tired of feeling this constant emotion,
I'm ready to say, "I've had it, I'm done."
This life has left me so scarred, wondering if I'll ever heal
I can't give up this struggle, but tell me, how am I supposed to deal?

Every now and then, I just need a break from it all,
But the last time that happened I started to fall
In love with this guy who stole my heart and broke it by loving me less;
I guess I was never meant to experience true happiness.

See, this anger seems to be a spawn of deep hurt from within,
But this emotion has never been revealed to anyone before;
I just can't let them see my weakness so they can laugh at me more,
Isn't it a tragedy to have to live such a lie rather than to endure?
