Leak - Stepson

I always thought I was strong enough on my own

Rely on no one but myself

I know I seem okay

But it’s all an act

You’ll never ask, I’ll never tell

It was my secret

This isn’t easy for me to say

I’ve never been one to talk

I keep it hidden away

Until it leaks from my eyes

When I’m all alone

I was so alone

It would get worse each and every day

I couldn’t move

I couldn’t eat

I was withering away

I didn’t tell anyone

I felt so alone

I was so alone

It was never my intention

To push you all away

I thought I needed space

I just needed help

But I was too afraid to ask

Too afraid to let you in

I broke down

I was weak

I never felt like I was good enough

For people to care

For anyone to help me

I was so scared

You’d all think less of me

This isn’t easy for me to say

I’ve never been one to talk

I keep it hidden away

Until it leaks from my eyes

When I’m all alone

I was so alone

It got worse each and every day

I couldn’t move

I couldn’t eat

I was withering away

I didn’t tell anyone

I felt so alone

I was so alone

I was trying to blame anyone but myself

But the fault lies with me

It was me

It was always me

Why do I hate myself?
