Silly me for thinking you were worth it,
For thinking I even had a chance.
Silly me for thinking you were different from the rest.

Never again will I fall for such a joke.

Never let anyone tell you that you can't do something.
You are your own person with your own ambitions.
You are in charge.

Never let someone tell you that you won't make it in the real world
just because you chose to not go to college.

Never let someone tell you that you are throwing your life away.

You can do anything you put your mind to.
You will become successful.

"God saw that you were getting tired, and a cure was not to be,
So he put his arms around you and whispered, "Come to me".
With tearful eyes we watched you, and saw you pass away.
Although we love you dearly, we could not make you stay.
A golden heart stopped beating, hard working hands at rest.
God broke our hearts to prove to us, He only takes the best."

I broke again today.
Mind caged behind emotions
Not of my making,
Not of my choosing.

The tempest whipped up
By foreign deities
Which reside inside
Whom do not mask their hate.

I cry out for your help
Even as I strike your hand
When you reach for me.

Yet you stand resolute
In the wake of my broken fury,
Birthing new love within me
As I find strength in numbers
For I am no longer alone.
