People who have no money think money is everything
People who have money think happiness is everything
We smoke and we numb our pain away
In that moment we play pretend and think that happiness is here to stay
If only we acted like what we feel on the inside
If only we acted like what we’ve been through
There would be so much chaos in the world
How much more are there of us?
The lost,
The confused,
The rebels,
The pain hoarder’s
The broken
The unopened book
“Life is full of phases”,they say
But I ask how much of the bad phases does it take to completely destroy a perfect human being?
Life keeps us jumping from one pain to the other
Sometimes when we get hurt we hope it doesn’t hurt more than some others
Sometimes we need to escape
Sometimes it’s uneasy
I really don’t want to believe that there is someone somewhere trying to push me to my limits
Since the world can’t hurt me
They want me to hurt myself
I guess I now believe in all that voodoo bullshit
Sometimes I lash out and sabotage
Hoping that someone see’s
To see me goes more than just meagre looking with the eyes
To see me is to see me
In my world nothing is ever surprising
In my world I accepted that demons don’t want to go away
They feel so comfortable because I no longer fight them
Sometimes we all get tired of fighting
All I need to do is just read the writing
The writing on this wall does not seem so clear anymore
I am standing firm
Holding myself so I don’t fall
A pillar to myself
I would have said what a weak pillar I am
But I’m not weak
I could be anything else but weak is not it
I have carried a self that wanted to break itself
I have mended a soul that decided it was going to play dead
I have embodied a spirit that chose not to die
So I live
Maybe some parts of me are gone
Or maybe they hide
Because they don’t feel safe in a world where sometimes we feel as though we are magnets to pain
And we cannot escape it
Until we lose our physical self
And if we cannot lose our physical self
We lose our minds
And when we lose our minds,
we lose it all.
