Heather Mercy Poet Lyric

Hidden Fragments

Distrust lies in my heart, I’ve learned the hard way
		
		That even those who you think are for your best are for their way

		I was unaware of reality, so my opinions were swayed;
		
		I was left alone, I felt like no one wanted to stay 


		I remember carrying a lot of darkness in my head;

                Before I walked into school, in my stomach, I felt dread:

                But I held my nose to the grind, I knew I had to stay ahead
		
		There was a lot blood, sweat and tears I shed

		
		This weighs heavy on me, I worked hard for so long;

		After all I struggled through, I pulled through strong

		I went through enough to write about it in a song

		I was wondering why this hell seemed to reign for so long 

		
		Criticized for chasing fame but I don’t let it bring me shame

		The pain and suffering almost drove me insane;
		
		I was using substances to ease the trauma in my brain

                So I really have nothing to lose, only to gain
	

               They think that they know me from how they speak on me

               I don’t have time to engage in the absurdity;

               My attention is focused on creating a better future for me

               I swear I’ve dealt with so much B.S. that I just want to be free
