Find Strength In My Fear
I'm talking to myself because no one would lend me an ear
I managed to find some strength in my fear
I've been down and out and hid from everything I wanted
It wasn't until I survived my suicide attempt that I realised I'm meant to be here
To some this is nothing but rhyming words on a page
But this is my truth, if you're smart you will learn from my mistakes
If I could go back, I'd focus more on love rather than flirting with random babes
When I was lost, The ones I thought who cared didn't come searching in the maze
Isn't it sad how most of the backstabbing and betrayal is done by blood?
I've messed up with some great girls and have many regrets when it comes to love
If you have the person you love by your side, do all you can to keep them there
Because there's nothing worse than losing them and constantly being in tears
I keep a small circle, I never cared about being popular
Not the violent type, but I'll never duck a fight like Deontay Wilder is ducking Anthony Joshua
People find poetry beautiful, but don't realise most poets are tortured
People wrote me off, but not one of those people made it as an author
I told my biggest secret and biggest fear and she exposed it
She loved poetry, but didn't care for the poets
She cared for beauty, but didn't find it in my art
But I can't complain when I cared about her body, but didn't treasure her heart
She put her heart in my hands and I broke it
Flirted with every single girl I spoke with
If I could go back to this chapter then this isn't how I would have wrote it
But to never make a mistake like this again is my motive
I talk to myself because no one will lend me an ear
I found some strength in my fear
I got back up after being kicked while I Was down
When I survived My suicide attempt, I realised I'm meant to be here
