Fire
She uses her own embers to make a fire for others;
Giving them away to assure their warmth.
Until suddenly,
she has no embers left for herself
and she is left freezing
in the shadows of their flames.
Pretend
They all don't seem to know,
the pain we are constantly going through.
The sleepless nights,
the inner fights,
the goals we're trying to crawl to.
All the distant calls while relationships fall,
and the worried looks from friends,
as we try to act as if we're okay
and forever play the game of pretend.
Get Over It
The words "get over it" carry more lethal poison then a blow dart, because what they don't realize is how many times we have tried to get over it, how many nights went sleepless because of our brains trying to find a way to get over it but couldn't. No, never tell someone to get over it because you don't see how much they are trying.
Break Free
The most frustrating and heartbreaking thing is when people hit the "dead zone".
If you tell them they're beautiful they shrug it off.
If you tell them they matter it just goes right through them.
Perhaps the worst part is knowing that there is nothing you can do to snap them out of it;
they have to break through that cage themselves.
Smile
What is a smile if it doesn't crinkle at the eyes?
Is it truly a smile?
And what is a laugh if it doesn't come from the heart before it comes from the mouth?
Is it really laughter?
When I'm old the thing I want most is lots and lots of wrinkles around my eyes and a laugh that tells the story of a broken heart finally healed.
