Poem
Does it make you feel better to shove it all down? Is a smile uncomfortable so you wear a frown? You flaunt it inside and accessorize it well, With your feelings and secrets you can't bear to tell. I know how it feels because I do it too Like you think they'd all leave you if they really knew You bury it deeper for years upon years Just hoping it'll wash away with all of your tears But that's not how it works and you know it too But you still go out to forget every chance that you blew 'Cause to them you seem happy not a care in the world But inside you're a broken, scared little girl But there's hope for you still if you want it, that is Please sit down, focus, and listen to this You must trust in yourself for the life that you're after You'll find peace and resilience, smiles and laughter But you have to stop hating what you see in yourself And blaming and pushing away everyone else No matter what happens, one person's there When things get tough and life seems unfair So get up and go find a mirror to look in That's your motivation, your reason to win Hope lies in yourself at the end of the day And I know it's a difficult card we must play No bottle can fix you, there's no magic pill You have to keep fighting with all of your will Because life cannot stop no matter how hard you try No day will be easy, and yes you'll still cry It won't happen over night, and I'm sorry it's hard But don't run away, you've come so far So get yourself up and settle the score You may feel like you're losing but there's so much more You could live till you're 80, have kids of your own What would you tell them if they came back home And they sit there and tell you it's no longer worth it They're done, discouraged they just want to quit Would you sit there and tell them theyre probably right? Or would you tell them there's so many reasons to fight? If your life seems easy and you're just sliding by Get out there and find something bigger to try A story worth telling is a difficult one And always succeeding is never much fun You must fail to succeed, fill those failures with laughter After all that you've been through is it 'easy' you're after? No matter how small you may sometimes feel Don't fight those feelings, just let your heart heal
