It took everything in me to walk away
It took everything outta me to stay
It took everything in my pride to say
that i love you with everything & that you’re the light to my every day

It took everything in me to fight
It took everything in my pride to make things right
It took everything in my power to set it aside
& it took every single crack in my cold heart to even decide
that this isn’t what it needs to be, my forever that means you & me

It took everything in me to not break down
It took everything in me to not make a sound
It took everything in me to forgive myself for the damage unknowingly caused
& everything inside of me to cope with this devastating loss
-Poetic Venom

I've had hills to climb & tears to cry
I've endured scars but I don't ask why
I've barely seen the sun & have danced with the rain
I've soared thru the storms of my sorrowed skies
I've been the subject of rage, from bruises & sore bones
to ****** wounds to living my own nightmare exposed

I've been attached to a source to numbs the pain
falling for a temporarily killing but still hurting the same
I've looked death in its eyes just to realize
that I was looking at myself thru my own tearful eyes
More setbacks than numbers can count & more trails than a convicted killer
Been lost more than I could be found, still looking for the forgiveness of a sinner

Through it all, I keep my head held high
still haven't managed to fly but I still try
God's Plan is never known or understood but in due time, it's explained
so no matter the storm & no matter how hard the journey becomes, I Won't Complain

If I gave you my soul,
would you read each page?
Scribble notes of interest
and know me.
Would you take the time,
to help tape the seams?
Would you mend,
the fragility of my soul?
It tears and rips,
easily, emotionally.
