My Painful Planet


My Planet

I would write my words on this page 

But I feel the need to express em 

To live them and grow through em 

To prove the world wrong

Cause the world did me wrong for so long

My Planet 

My Planet 

So raw 

So painful 

My Planet

So raw 

So painful 

I paint a picture of who I am 

I show the world my true colors 

I fight with all my heart and my breathe 

I show you my story, my life, my events 

My Planet

So raw 

So painful 

It tries to disregard it 

It tries to put it in the trash 

But I ain’t going nowhere 

I fought to get here 

The world misunderstood me for too long 

Made me feel like I didn’t matter 

Like I was invisible 

I am here to tell you 

That you matter 

I am here to tell you 

That no matter what happens 

You matter 

We all matter 

That is why I am 

That is why you are 

So live your life 

With no fear of consequences or backlash 

Don’t let that nonsense get to your mind 

Know yourself 

We are all our own planets 

And we line the sky 

Without one planet

The rest don’t survive 

This is a call to the survivors 

The used 

The abused 

This isn’t a love song 

This is a journey 

This is your life 

So take it 

Things won’t always go your way 

Pick yourself up 

Stand up 

Fight in the name of what you believe in 

I said fly your flag 

Not your friends 

Not your families 

But your flag 

And my flag is life 

Because I love life 

And I give it my all everyday 

What’s your flag? 

What’s your passion? 

I pour my pain and emotion into everything I do 

I haven’t lived a pain free life and I am sure you haven’t either 

So stand up and believe 

And stand for your life 

Your life

Your moment 

Your pain 

Your heart 

Your soul
