S ilence the voices of those who speak to
E nrages you to core, struggling to control yourself.
L earn to speak above those who wish to put you down.
F ight against the portrait that you paint yourself.

M ade of gold, light soul tarnishing just as fast in the face of
A dversity, struggling to balance the mask with the anxiety
D esperately holding on to the tears that lurk on the
E dge of you vision, and also your reality.
~~ ~ ~ ~ ~~ ~ ~ ~ ~~ ~ ~ ~ ~~ ~ ~ ~ ~~ ~ ~ ~ ~~ ~ ~ ~ ~
H elp no longer in reach, lies tell you you're too far gone.
E scape is only a dream you're unable to convince as a possibility.
L ove for self, but a grain at the bottom of the can.
L ove for others, but a part of the mask or maybe an act.
