The Power of Words

I don't think some people understand how much power that words hold Enough pain and betrayal can make the most kind hearted people turn cold I refuse to lie and act like I'm the greatest guy and living my best life for social media Because once you put that phone down, it doesn't make looking at your scars any easier I remember being younger and telling a girl I'd please her all night But when it came down to it, after 20 minutes it was clear that I lied That's why I've been honest since, and always told people what to expect from me I'm learning from my mistakes and growing daily, so you still haven't seen the best of me I understand why some people have difficulty reading me I'm not cocky, but I always say I'll beat depression, because If i have any self doubt it will end up knocking me down easily Sometimes I didn't understand the lesson that life was teaching me But Eventually I got it when certain people started leaving me You have to lose people you loved in order to grow It's time I start living for myself, because I'm not here to entertain the crowd or be the star of the show I'm just trying to avoid drama and keep my mind in a good place I may be in my feelings but I don't really care if Keke loves Drake From getting back up after you're knocked down is how you find your worth But most of the time I feel like we waste our time and words Life's too short, and we waste it and keep our feelings inside I'm not going to say sorry because I'd rather say how I feel even if I lose my pride If tomorrow doesn't come, I'd rather go knowing I said it all I'd rather pick up the phone and make the call Even if it leads to me getting ignored, rejected and hurt Because there's so much power in things spoken but there's also nothing more painful than unsaid words
