C

the amount

you never know
the amount someone burns in their own skin the amount someone itches to show the real them you never know the amount someone forces themselves to stay the amount someone prays they don't decay
you never know
the amount someone thinks about dying the amount someone wishes they'd stop crying, you never know the amount of tears someone forces not to fall the amount someone prays they won't give up at all
you may never know
because some know how to hide their face, some know how to hide their pain, and you may never know some fight until they break some run to get away
the amount goes unknown
so you may never know
until it's to late
