Value is not what others place upon you
It is the value you place upon yourself

I sang the song of a broken heart
It deafened the darkened sky
And though it pulled my soul apart
Nobody could hear my cry

A smile can hide a million woes
The ones that nobody needs to know
The inner turmoil of your soul
Each day you hide the tears that flow

A smile can hide a million broken dreams
That keeps you awake when you should be asleep
When plans you made are just distant memories
When once the world was at your feet

But that one smile that finally breaks through
The one that sparkles like a precious jewel
The inner light comes through innocent and pure
That smile is your smile, the one that is true.

If you test someone's loyalty
By keep pushing them away
They will eventually leave
And you will have passed your test

Congrats.

Every memory that makes you cry
Proves you lived before you die
Each tear that falls with a memory
Will live with you for your eternity

The echos of my broken screams
Whirled through my ribcage
Like the cold winds
In a desolate forrest
Looking for a place to rest
