Do you want me to lie and say I am fine? | ^_^ No, I'm not okay. But I will be. | :P (ah, the brilliance of mixed messages) I will pick the pieces off the floor I will mend my own heart Open up my scars again Let them bleed out once more I'll heal them again With my own strength Maybe I'll frown, cry, get depressed Maybe even contemplate suicide But there's no cure for this Unless it comes from My own two hands So I'll take them, set them to work I'll make my scars scab over Through sheer willpower alone Don't you dare look at me With those curious eyes It just makes me want To slap you even more Don't give me your pity, Your sympathy They are all worthless because Neither could mend this broken heart I'll clean up after myself I will set to right what I did wrong And if I can't, then I'll carry That cross heavy on my back I will pick up all those little Shards of myself lying on the floor Any molecules of the element Me That have wandered away I will attract back If not, I'll chase them So they can form a complete Me again I will shovel myself a grave But I'll do it standing strong I'll falter, but my determination It burns, it sears It might not be a forest fire But it's candle light, Just enough to see by Thank you very much and Now you can show yourself out It's nothing personal I just need to do this myself
In the first two sentences, I have used '|' as dividers, showing the contradiction in the general tone of the message, if you view them as two separate parts.
