OPEN UP
They told me that I would fall,
Not knowing I had alot in store.
I felt the pain,
But I new someday I would gain.
Nobody to trust nobody to lose,
I had no option but to choose.
It was so hard to open up,
Sometimes I would even feel like it was a trap.
I had to be strong,
So I had someone to tag along.
My life was a living hell,
But no one could tell.
All I did was smile,
And trust me no one knew I had walked an extra mile.
People saw the smile on my face,
Without knowing I was in a hectic race.
I thought it would never end,
But all I did was to mend.
The words were to painful too bear,
And no one had time to care.
It was a very hurtful experience,
Which was very intense.
I lost it all,
But I couldn’t give up and that’s one thing for sure.
I had to find myself,
And it was like checking every shelf.
It was so hard to believe,
But now it’s a relieve.
My heart was filled with sadness,
And it actually felt like madness.
I did things I didn’t mean to do,
And we’ll it’s true.
They made me become bitter,
But I always do my best to be better.
I almost lost my mind,
But despite everything I’ll always be kind.
They never understood me,
So I always sat alone under a tree.
I felt like I was trapped in a cage,
And sometimes I would rage.
Never let people define you,
Even though they might think you’re a fool.
Believe in what is right,
And you’ll never lose sight.
Always look at someone’s heart,
Because you’ll miss the best part.
Better to let go of diamonds and gold,
Than to break your heart for what won't be yours to hold.
