Please Stop.

You have taken everything

You have made me empty

You have made me weak

Pillaged my heart

cracked my soul

I do not have anything left

Taken my innocence

Stole my naïve mind

I am not strong anymore

My battle wounds are showing

I know I have lost

Defeated

My troops have retreated


The hardest part?

Pretending it doesn’t hurt

Crack by crack

Soul breaking

Knees quaking

Do not show then the damage

Do not give the satisfaction

Sweep up your heart

Glue your soul

Do not show them your white flag

Do not give up

See there are many battles

Do not give up on the first

You are far stronger than you think

The damage will remain

Hearts do not fully heal

Souls do not repair

Scars will stay

To remind of what you fought for

Scars make you stronger

Define you

Of the battles you fought alone.
