What I Dont Give a F Really Means
We start off soft, open and delicate
Like a new born babe that takes in love
We too, take in all that surrounds us
However, Little by little walls start to be built
The more we care, the worse it stings
As we experience disappointments, betrayals, hurts and fears
We start to see these higher walls appear
Before long we adapt to this new identity
The “I don’t give a fudge” is now what we believe
This tasteless shell meant to be worn through torrential rain
Has become a character flaw in which we now proclaim
Everything slides off this stern hard cover
We forget what’s inside and begin to not bother
With what we really feel and who we really are
For the scrapes engraved on are backs
Are seen simply as just another battle scar
But as we get older, the world seems to grow colder
And are attitudes have become increasingly bolder
The lie that’s in motion
Is that this "strength" is our notion
But that can’t possibly be true,
For we never really grew,
All along there was never any healing,
Because healing requires a person to have feeling.
