Place To Be
I share everything I have yet they still feel the need to take from me
People always want to take more than they give back
Not knowing if your friends are actually enemies is a scary place to live at
Being Stuck inside a room with your own thoughts is a scary place to be
I'm growing and learning daily, so I'll probably always be unfinished
People only want the polished end product and lose interest if you become dented
I judge people on how they treat me and my eyes won't become tinted
Because judging people by scars or what you hear about them, makes no sense, like a dumb sentence
I don't care for he say, she say, I believe it if I see it with my own eyes
I'll help you if I can, but I need to focus on my own life
Why should I protect you if you won't offer me shelter on cold nights?
I believe in 50/50 in all relationships, and some times you have to let go when things don't hold right
Sometimes you find out that the love was fake all along
You're trapped now because the escape walls are gone
Nowhere to go, so you either plead or hide
You're unable to cry so you bleed inside
But those wounds begin to heal once you realise there's life without fake friends
But to get to that realisation it takes strength
You've got to trust your own instinct and follow your heart faithfully
Try to avoid the dark thoughts because your own mind can be a scary place to be
