Sad Tales

I've lived to tell all my sad tales With a smile cause I only hurt from inside That's why it's hard to tell tell If I'm being true or I've got something to hide I've found pieces of me that I thought I'd lost But this time they didn't sit right when I pieced myself back It left me with the question "At what cost" Cause I was killing myself hoping to get it all back I've seen how with years I'm fading to the dark Cause I lose my glow smiling Hoping that somehow it would spark Something in the world so that it keeps going I've tried to accept maybe change is part of me Saying that maybe it's okay not to be whole That what remains is still me But I know that they see through those holes I've lived to tell my sad tells That's already more than what I'd wished for Most people don't live to tell the tales Cause they wait for the right moment, something they never had before The PO£T
