Words From the Grave

I'm so lost I've been searching for a maze
My wounds need a nurse and first aid
I've been trying to control the hurt and the rage 
But now I'm killing off my feelings so these are my words from the grave

Don't approach me as I'm going to open my heart for a quick moment 
I don't show fear, but the world is a tough opponent 
I've held it on my shoulders, but now we'll see if it can hold my weight 
I'll beat any obstacle and I won't allow anyone else to control my faith 

My biological sperm doner died when I was 14 but I had no time for crying 
That was a special moment where a kitten transformed into a lion
Giving up and suicide were in my options, But I didn't 
Once someone hurts you, you'll start to feel that hug different 

I don't care what you think of me
Speak amongst yourselves and leave me to have this drink in peace
Dear bartender I don't wish to talk you're not a link for me
Depression had me caged for a while but now I'm on the brink of free

Once I get there, there's no going back
Every scar of mine has a poem attached 
To some these are just words on a page
But this is me killing off my feelings so these are my words from the grave
