It’s just an instant
And I lose my courage
A little bit of distance
And I fail to flourish
Just a few words
To shoot me down
A few little tears
Turn a smile
To a frown
Illusion of an empire
Made purely by heart
And I used all that I had
To make sure it didn’t fall apart
Precautions and experience
Mixed with a misled wisdom
And truth
I’ve been trying to fix it
Since my untamed and erratic youth
A second alone
And the loneliness sets In
A minute of quiet
And all I hear is silence
A moment of mayhem
And I am back to my truth
Living in consequence
My scars my proof
Each day I wake up
And I promise to be strong
Promise to make a difference
For all of your wrongs
Here I am
What is this strength ?
You can’t see me
Because your already gone
And I am left
Trying to sew myself
From being torn
Maiden of misery
I balk at the thought
Each day a new mystery
And love is self taught x
