Wake Up

Worry me no longer, 
dry the dripping tears,
set aside the anger
cast away the fears.

Persecute me no longer,
with your wicked slapping tongue
stop drowning me in  your agony
for I am way too young.

Stop your stupid crying fits,
Don't you fall apart
stop building all those dreadful walls
open up your blackened heart.

Quit looking at your reflection,
You're not perfect, you never were
just love yourself once again
take the bait, bite the lure.

Please, stop your pity party,
forget that they don't see
listen to your inner strength
Stop, and wake up me!
