Unbreakable

There’s a knife in my chest which makes it hard to take a breath suffocation feels quite common when there has been a death It feels empty and cold deep inside my bones in me there’s no faith left my heart is now stone You want me to love you you need me to need you I don’t have any trust I don’t want to mislead you I carved a picture on my ribs about the way I was going to live I carved a picture on my wrist a picture I’ve seen for years You think it’s not fair that I’m emotionally impaired but there’s no way you’ll understand unless you have been there But I hold my head up high I grit my teeth and look to the sky my advice, don’t get too close as you pull your body to mine My new life can now begin weakness has come to an end I’m sorry I’m so guarded but I won’t go through that again There is a scar in my soul I have darkness I can’t control but I’ll stand up once again because I’m stronger than before
