Stay strong Is not as easy as they say How can you stay strong When you can barely stand up How can you stay strong if the world pushes you down Why even try if every step only brings more pressure Every corner another monster to be defeated How can I fight it if my forces have been drain How can I overcome this if no one helps "stay strong" they say How can I 'stay' if I've never been strong
I am sorry I am ignorant Self absorbed And way to quick To fall in love With pieces of **** Who blind my eyes And force me to sit With my arms crossed And my lips zipped
I remember those three words twisting knots in my gut Billowing over my self-proclaimed walls of self-loathing. I didn't want to say it, but the closer I got to you, the closer I became to binding the rope of my social noose.
Those words festered at me like an infection and I knew this truth would overtake me. My heart ripped through flesh and fibers until love was no longer in the closet, but staring back at me through brown eyes.
Cracked, parched, bare, I am lying on the ground. My skin, Cracked, parched, bare, Crumbling, skinny dust, Depressing the air. My blood trickling out, Hydrating the flakes. Red tulips will grow, Between my dusty bones.
It's killing me to see you like this though the bliss has ended, the fences are still being defended. So don't pretend you're not allowed to hurt everybody knows it's worse. Don't listen to a word they say dreams don't go away, though the world may bury cuts these wounds will heal the same. Don't listen to a word they say you won't feel the same. Don't listen to a word they say bruises will heal away.
