You torture yourself, I know you do
Don't get me wrong, I do too
But it amazes me, the techniques that you use
Don't get me wrong, I have my own too
The way you cut yourself down, kills me inside
I do it to myself, but I have my own reasons why
No matter what though, you deserve to be held high
Even if Im not the one standing by your side
The stars dont don't shine as bright as the light from your eyes
You don't belong to sit as LOW as the night sky
The moon should look up at YOU when the world grows quiet
Because the moon shows us where to look and point TO the stars at night
The battles you fight don't have to make you who you are
They just show us where we've been & where we aren't
Because if you fought yesterday, then you dont HAVE to today
And if you learned, you should know what to say, or not to say
And since you torture yourself, like I know you do
The symptoms that show, only seem like they grew
Out of the self-doubts, harsh words & negativity IN YOU
That you yourself pursued, even if someone you knew told you NOT TO,
So lets face it, the battles, the hard times & sadness, too.
Will you trust that I will always be here to catch you?
Now, I know the history, I know the stories
I know the good, the bad & the ugly
But that's not how it always has to be
We can, together, write our own story
I can teach you that the bad isn't always so bad
You can teach me that I don't always have to be mad
We can teach each other the good outweighs the bad
And even if we end up being all we've ever had
The best part is, torture CAN come to an end
Especially if you're the one dealing it
The question is,
How much will you endure until you've had enough of it?
