If You Only Knew

(And Had the Courage to Tell You)

By Laila GoubranPublished 6 years ago 1 min read

When you go to your room,

And lock the door,

Throw a chair at the wall,

Break down,

Cry,

Think you are hated,

Believe you are alone,

Feel like a failure,

Feel like a joke.

When you think that it’s okay

To hurt yourself,

Think that it’s OK

If you don’t exist,

Erase your colours,

Become dark and numb

Crouch in a corner

To be invisible,

Oh, If you only knew…

How highly I thought of you

Then all of this,

would mean nothing to you.
