I want to be viewed as strong from what I’ve overcome I want people to realize I’ve persisted I don’t want your sympathy I don’t want to be viewed as a broken person I am strong I am not a tragedy.
If you didn’t do it Why do you feel the need to tell everyone you didn’t Why did you repeatedly tell me your age Why don’t I remember anything Why was there blood Why did you tell everyone we got together Why did you do this Why did you break me
I was never one of those girls Who got her heart broke by the cute boy math class My heart was broken by a stranger On a night I can’t remember When the only thing that mattered Was taken from me forever
I refuse to stay in one place too long I want to experience the sun on my skin I need to explore what the world has The thought of being away from here Is too appealing to resist
It was like a blanket Pulling me under over and over again No matter what I did, if I escaped It always came back Telling me I was never enough Saying everything bad was because of me As I would cry and cry I just wished I would die
