True Strength

June 18, 2018
Its so hard to be strong when you want to be weak
 
Its so hard to wake up when you just want to sleep
 
Its so hard to leave the house when you just want to curl up in bed
 
Its so hard to eat when you don't want to leave your room
 
Its so hard to fight when you can't stand up
 
Its so hard to breath when you just want to die
 
Its so hard to smile when you are paralyzed
 
Its so hard to have fun when you just can't
 
Its so hard to see light in the dark when you can't see the light switch
 
Its so so hard
 
And now I'm slowly falling apart
