~Ok, I really loved all the suggestions, but Clockwork's clicked with me best.  And as good as that was, I still tweaked it.  Thank you so much for the help everyone!!!~

When my heart feels like it’s being ripped out,
I’d rather just put on a shirt.
When I feel like breaking down into tears,
I’ll smile and hide all the hurt.
Because I know that no one sees the pain in my eyes,
And that’s all right with me.
I’d rather be helping someone else,
I just don’t think anyone can help me.

I’m not conceited or selfish,
I don’t think my problems are worse.
But if it comes between me or a friend,
She’s going to get help first.
I’m not bitter, and I don’t feel ashamed,
But all the times that I’ve reached for help.
Somehow I’ve always disappointed them,
It’s just easier to keep it to myself.

You don’t have to tell me, I already know
It’s not healthy, it’s not right.
But if it means that I don’t bother someone,
I’d rather just cry late at night.
I’m telling you this because I need help now,
It may be the only time I ever ask.
Because now I’m hurting beyond recognition,
And I’m finally dropping the mask

I've stopped fighting my inner demons... we're on the same side now.
