*******.
That's the name you call yourself.
That's the name we call ourselves.
Darkness is all around you.
It fogs your eyes and it blocks your smile.
But that doesn't mean you can't smile,you smile.
You smile your weak smile.
And deep inside that smile of yours, I can see a heart of gold.
A heart of gold sunken deep in a pool of troubled waters.
A heart of gold surrounded by black clouds so that no one could see.
A heart of gold hidden behind the rocks that life throws at you so that you couldn't see.
You try so hard fighting off your demons and that helps me.
Seeing you fight gives me strength.
When they see you, they see a girl with a face.
I see your demons. I see the war.
The war will never end I reckon because it never does. It never will.
But at least we will survive until we die if we just hold on to each other.
That's the name you call yourself.
That's the name we call ourselves.
Darkness is all around you.
It fogs your eyes and it blocks your smile.
But that doesn't mean you can't smile,you smile.
You smile your weak smile.
And deep inside that smile of yours, I can see a heart of gold.
A heart of gold sunken deep in a pool of troubled waters.
A heart of gold surrounded by black clouds so that no one could see.
A heart of gold hidden behind the rocks that life throws at you so that you couldn't see.
You try so hard fighting off your demons and that helps me.
Seeing you fight gives me strength.
When they see you, they see a girl with a face.
I see your demons. I see the war.
The war will never end I reckon because it never does. It never will.
But at least we will survive until we die if we just hold on to each other.
This poem is dedicated to my friend who's going through a hard time. But I hope you can also relate to it because after all, sometimes,all you need is someone who can see through your mask that you've been wearing to hide your demons and tells you that you're not okay even when you try to lie to yourself that you are.
