The world can’t break you

Tell me are you afraid
Of the pain?
Of your skin
Separating?
Those words they said
That makes you wish you were dead

Escape.
Release.
Only wanting to rest in peace.
Can’t take the hurt.
Thinking you can’t feel worse.
It’s like a curse.

Don’t say the sky is weighing you down.
Focus on the sound of your heart pounding against your chest.
I know you feel fear at its best,
But let them see you soar.

Fight back with a roar.
Don’t flirt with fear anymore.
Deep inside your core
You’re worth more.
Stand strong against the wind.
Stand back up if you fall down again.
I promise the pain will end.
Soon enough.

The world doesn’t play nice
But make it think twice
Stay strong
Be tough.
You may feel you’re worthless,
But you’re a diamond in the rough.
Don’t wish for an endless night.
Let serenity tuck you in tonight.
Show them your inner light
Rise again, ready to fight.
