I’ve written this before,
But I’ll write it again,
Because that’s what you do
When you don’t have a friend.

I’ve hid away my self,
Instead I’ve used an act,
And it’s driven me insane,
I’m very nearly cracked.

Even if I did tell,
The entirety of truth,
They’d take me away
And put me in a noose.

But I digress,
Just like any other day,
For the people I tell
Don’t believe me anyway.
