&quot;It matters not how strait the gate,<br /> How charged with punishments the scroll.<br /> I am the master of my fate:<br /> I am the captain of my soul.&quot;<br /> -William Ernest Henley

I know I'm not alone
But it really seems that way
Since you been gone
I hurt everyday

I don't want to come to school
Because I have to see your face
I guess I just can't deal with losing you
With knowing we came untied like a shoe lace

Is that hard to believe?
That I hurt so much
I showed you I was strong
That I couldn't be hurt
That was the only lie
