Letter To My Heart
Poetry is my light if I'm ever in the dark
I try to create beautiful pictures, but love has never been my art
I got so used to pain that I began to find pleasure in my scars
This is my letter to my heart
I've been out in the cold, betrayed, attacked and left to suffer
A wounded heart, that still tries to give its best for others
If I ever gave you my heart, it wasn't just to be rented
I hate you for hurting me, but when I said I loved you I meant it
I've moved on from losing people who meant everything to me, so I'm not worried about who I lose anymore
I refuse to be under appreciated and I won't stand for being abused anymore
My thoughts may miss them at times even though we no longer speak
I've lost more than I thought I could handle, but I'm still here on both feet
I'm seeing couples aspire to be Kim and Kanye and they wonder why their relationship isn't strong
I'm seeing people take relationship advice from Zodiac signs and Post Malone lyrics and you wonder where you're going wrong
Sometimes I hate this generation and feel like I don't belong
If I meet a girl who's into all of this Then I know she's not the one
Don't focus on those judging your scars, but those who are trying to repair them
Remember there's no such thing as the perfect words for people who don't want to hear them
People aren't in love with you, they're in love with what they can use you for
Which is why I had to let people go so they couldn't abuse me anymore
Poetry will always be my light if I'm ever in the dark
I try to create beautiful pictures, but love has never been my art
I've been hurt so much, I've began to find pleasure in my scars
This is my letter to my heart
