One day you'll see.
One day I'll be heard.
I'm gonna pick myself up
And I'm gon' dust off the hurt.
Its stained in my skin
But I've been through worse.
Every lie you told me
Was just layed out and unfurled.
You deserve a ******* medal.
Did you need to rehearse?
You took something so pure
And just made it perverse.
And just like Dre I was caught in a verse.
Or maybe caught your smile.
Or just caught in your words.
I should have known you were trouble
By the way that you slurred.
When you were sippin' that drink
And tryna feel on my skirt.
But you knew just what to say
To keep me from running away.
But now its getting too hard
To keep my emotions at bay.
You do me wrong once,
That's a shame in itself.
Do it again and again
Well now you're all by yourself.
And don't come to me
Looking for sympathy.
You put your own self in this situation.
See, I'm blunt as ****.
I'll tell you what's up.
And I get colder that the coldest
When I give no *****.
We could have had it all.
We always had enough.
But you let greed cloud your vision,
You let your pride destroy us.
I guess I've loved and I've lost.
But at the highest of costs.
Cause now the man next to me
Thinks he's the reason I'm scarred.
And I just tell him upfront
That in the morning he's gone.
Won't ever let him get close,
Won't let him break down my gaurd.
One day I'll be fine.
One day I won't be ignored.
This too shall pass.
Please be assured.
Keep your head up and stay strong,
You can endure.
One day all of this suffering will be over and cured.

I can't sleep.
I keep having this reoccuring dream.
Its like my body's on auto-pilot
And I cannot say a thing.
There's a throbbing in my head,
Its like my mind is screaming.
But I'm unable to control myself,
Unable to leave.
Feels like the devil's inside me
And he's drilling a hole.
He's trying to break down my spirit,
He's trying to capture my soul.
I'm tryna hide,
But I can't find a safe place to go.
So I just run for the cliffs
And I just let myself fall.
And just as I'm about to feel my life get ripped away
I hear this whisper of a loved one saying,
"Please come back and stay."
But what's done is done.
I'm falling fast.
And now its just too late.
I feel it all.
All of this regret, hate, and pain.
Now all I can think is,
God please, just take it all away.

— The End —
