Gotta trust myself yet,my minds slowly slipping like my heels are hanging off a cliff
Slipping in and out of sanity
Taking a risk in the world we call slim
Slim with creativity
slim with care
Letting it all out leaving our hearts and minds bare
Could hardly hear the inaudible words that slipped off my tongue
You'd never believe I was so young
The gift of caring words comes with character oh no not age
watch this world for just a day
see and then determine to me whether you believe
Remember crying to my sisters that I was breaking
Didn't understand how the world had this affect on me when I swore I'd hidden the key
A break in you could say,
Hell no,were not calling the police
Only thing stolen was my small amount of sanity
What's it worth to a cold hard jury
Living in fear of when I'll break
Lay it all out display of a superhero to those who depend on her nonexistent powers
But when the world will fall off my shoulders,
free fall back to the daggers of lonely
And no one will notice that I'm gone
My girls will remember the countless times I was a savior,weakness was always a fear
Yet for once I'm terrified for myself
Can't handle this my brains on overdrive
We're keeping our heads up high yet the worst is still to come
it doesn't get easier by the day but we sure do become numb to the pain
Nightmares are real life
Dreams are our only escape
Leave it to us to be the uncontrolled, messed up generation right?
If they call us lost they can just remember who raised us from the start,
Nothing they can say can change what's already happened
A new tomorrow is on the horizon if only they could see our amount of survivors
Our numbers are slim, yet strong is our middle name
No shame in saying I can't handle this anymore
Make believe isn't just a game anymore
After the age of 6
becomes a survival skill for the unprivileged and the forgotten,
Been caught in a storm
But it can't rain forever
Sooner or later it'll clear & our minds will be saved from the damage we didn't know existed until our existence was to far gone.
Past the age of moldability ,reached the age of accountability
They've done enough yet blame our stress and daddy issues on us
Look up to your elders they'll teach you many great things
Lied to since day one
Our brains are wired to believe and be cheated of the real thing called life
Can't blame us for being hackers some have defeated the System nothing you can do now will drag us back down
Tired of rag doll hearts
Stress levels higher than everest
No longer scared for our lives
Oh but the thoughts in our heads are the ones to fear late at night
Slowly slipping
Im and out
No idea were this sanity has slipped off too
Listen here my heart is bare walls are down not a sign for demolition got it?
No more chances
This cliff is getting further
Minds getting clearer
It can't rain forever
Our eyes are shining a little bit brighter now that we've learned it can't rain forever
Escaping hell to Heaven is possible
We can do this
I'm here
Just listen
