I feel the tears coming on I push them away Shake my head Lift my chin I refuse break Not again.
I am stronger than to let myself Be bullied around By my own thoughts Fingers pointed In no specific direction No fault to blame No one to call out Just my intense feelings Overtaking me.
I push And push It’s no wonder I am exhausted Always fighting to keep my head above water Either drowning Or falling under.
My well being getting smaller Words of others get louder and larger People don’t hesitate to walk all over The weak or struggling.
Times have changed Can’t trust my neighbor If I need to be saved Risk doing it alone Or being disappointed Options aren’t very desirable Like choosing between Bad or worse Each comes with their own surprises Hurt or be hurt.
Unsure of the girl in the mirror Her reflection becoming unclear I stopped checking glances Because I only see Things I want to change It’s not physical pain It’s the emotional damage That keeps me ******.
I feel trapped or lost So I run But flight always leads back to fighting Can’t ever fully escape It needs to be faced.
I am brave But not a hero I have courage But still afraid I am powerful But dart my shadow I am complex Simple would be nice for change But I am overtaken.
