pick up your head


the life you live not always the life you want crying your eyes out, wearing long sleeves, putting up a front heart broken shattered into a million pieces attacking ones self thinking your only releases feeling so alone as you cry yourself to sleep trying to heal but the wounds are too deep the things you love causing you the most pain feeling overflowed becoming unable to contain everything you want just doesn't seem to work out the game is too intense really needing a timeout but there's none left and you're stuck in the situation staying to yourself trying to avoid a confrontation you have the words to say but you just can't speak everytime they hurt you you turn the other cheek but when I look at you I can tell that you're strong a true friend one that would never do me wrong so I'll be there for you to mend the heart that was left unfed and continue to remind you to always pick up your head
