We cry to feel better
and laugh to hide our miseries
We hurt ourselves to feel alive
and we hurt others to feel like we're better
We sometimes forgive but not forget
yet other times forget that we can forgive
We try to prove that we are old enough
but we try to hold on to the purity of youth
We spend our lives trying to prove our worth
yet it all shatters along with the pieces of our broken hearts
We try our best to gain strength
but we're vulnerable to love
We seek freedom
just to get locked up again by the person who owns our heart
And when our mind tries to take control
here comes our heart to betray.
