Death by a Thousand Cuts

We come to experience an array of emotions Feelings in our bodies, set into motion Heartbreak and anger, sorrow and fear These things that bring our eyes to tear But the thing that kills my soul inside Is the betrayal of friends, their words pure lies Nothing can hurt the heart as much Not even a death by a thousand cuts So we numb emotions to kill the pain And continue our lives moving on in disdain

This is very well written, Harmony. If you love yourself, it doesn't matter what others think or say.
