My tears fall on deaf ears
No one cares about my many fears
Alone all the time with the world on my shoulders
All of my baggage weighs me down as if holding boulders
I can't slip at all or the worlds going to end
I must do all this with not a single friend
I have no one in the world who wants to hear me speak
But I'm the only one who isn't aloud to be weak
I can't help the fact that depression has set in

Or the fact that I can't stand to be in my own skin
I get so angry sometimes and I don't know why
Other times I would rather roll over and just die
No matter what the world hates more each day
And I am starting to think that it will never be okay
I die sometimes deep down inside each day I'm alive
I remember A time once upon a time ago that I really strived
I obtained something that I could never truly have or understand
But then again who am I to question the Lords master plan
You put through a hell that you may never understand in full
You were but just an object of my affection and I was but your tool
But all of that is over now my life is no longer in despair
I have finally found the one, the one who will always care
That listens to my dreams and makes me feel like worlds only man
The one who truly loves me for nothing more than what I am
She runs her fingers through my hair and I smile so wide inside
I see her and my little girl and I'm filled with a sense of pride
I see the things I've always wanted the things I know I'll need
I am happy with my life now and for the first time I feel freed
I am free from your clutches just out of your evil grasp
My heart is much stronger now no longer made of glass
It doesn't really matter now I have left you behind
You are out of sight and now you're out of mind
