100%


 I only allow you to see 10 percent out of 100

That 10 percent holds the childlike joyfulness seen by all

Another 10 percent shows I care for all 

Another 10 percent is the love i have to give.

 

This 10 percent is the strength i have to keep going

This 10 percent is made up of the memories I have. 

 I’ve allowed you to see 50 percent out of 100 

This 10 percent holds the rage i feel toward  everything/one.

 

 I only allow you to see 10 percent out of 100

10 percent that hold the sorrow i feel in my heart 

Another 10 percent its the truth i try to show 

But it’s covered by another 10 percent of lies I’ve buried myself under. 

This 10 percent is dark, I locked away in the deepest parts of my mind

This is 50 percent of what you don’t see the physical and mental numbness i deal with everyday
