Tears

She looks like she’s so soft and sweet

Cute and petite

Taste like honey when you kiss her lips

Fragile like a doll and hair like silk

Eyes like the sky, so alluring and assuring

But…..she’s not

She’s been lied to and heartbroken

Used and abused, left all alone after she ran out of use

Drowned in tears and whiskey years, and she’s so fuckin tired

Of being tossed around and being let down

So, she grew up

So she grew up and quit backin down and playin around

Cuz she stayed so strong

And kept movin on cuz she knew her worth

And she knew that she shouldn’t just be expected to give birth

So she grew up

Years of torture and abuse

Years of being lied to and used

Tired of being stabbed with guilt

All without tears spilt, trying to move on

To pass on all the trauma that’s been going on

But since when does that ever work

She has scars and all the marks

They corrupt her dreams and all the things that’s she’s been trying to work out

But it keeps draggin her down

Into a suffocating embrace, that has decided her fate

And it’s a goddamn cycle that drowns everything out

Till there’s nothing but a word…

So she grew up

She stopped cryin and tryin

To gain everyone’s approval

Cuz all they did was use her

And all she did was try but

She had to say goodbye

But all she could do was

GROW UP
