I cannot change how people feel
I can only feel what I feel
Anger makes an appearance when I want to change people but I know it doesn’t work
It never does

Take a deep breath
Count to ten
Call it a day and play pretend
Pretend that it never happens the way it does but only how you imagine it was

Fake the smile
Play the part
And shine the way you do
Never looking back to what you were but always looking forward to who you want to be

Overwhelmed now
Calm and collected soon
The tears will fall but you were always taught to build the boat for your own way out
And there you will sail the seven seas and be always who you wanted to be

Then you will realize that who you want to be is actually and always was
Who you are

Have pride and be proud
For you did it all on your own
