Prompt / Lyrics
Crying through the whole night With no one there to hold me tight Being as dramatic as I’ve ever been Wondering when it gets better again When everyone’s asleep And no one’s answering I stare at the ceiling, counting my breathing Every burden I carry alone Too scared to make my pain someone else’s own So I swallow every word I need Pretend I’m stronger than I feel That night, the silence talked too loud All my thoughts were crashing down I tried to hold it all inside But every tear just multiplied That night, I learned how deep it goes When you’re the only one who knows How heavy it is to stay alive When you’re done with trying Didn’t tell my best friend either Kept it secret so I’d look stronger Regret that walk at 2 a.m. On empty streets where I caved in I can’t ask for help, they don’t understand They joke it off and I can’t stand Holding anger just to make it stop No matter what, they come out on top All the elements pulled me back To everything I thought I’d packed That night, the past came flooding in Every loss, every almost-win It hit my chest, stole all my air Like an asthma attack I couldn’t spare That night, I screamed without a sound Afraid someone might know me now For the little boy who’s done pretending He’s not exhausted from the ending I was one sentence you never kept But you were more than I could forget I watched the ceiling, begged it to fall For anything to end it all I wanted you, but you chose work Chose the scores, said I was hurt So I turned it inward, made it my fault Let self-hate build a constant thought (quiet) Prettier, smarter, taller, more All the things I wasn’t before That’s a bridge under the water now Still feels like I’m standing somehow (soft → breaking) That night, the rain ignored my plea “It’s not personal” didn’t comfort me I wasn’t scared of loving too hard Just scared I’d be the one who stalled That night, I held on anyway Even when I wanted to fade And I’m still here—don’t know why But I made it through that night Still learning how to ask for help Still learning I don’t have to do it by myself
