It Will Get Better
Petals with the soft splashes of colours begin to slowly fray
Dread swallows me up as I hear echoes of laughter contagion bouncing
I squeeze my eyes shut when I have to face the world
Not daring to look at the intimidating faces staring down at me
My eyes open, all I can feel are tears streaming down my cheeks
The staring, the whispering become one
And unite to break my soul, piece by piece
What did I do for others to hate me?
Why am I invisible,and when will others start to listen?
Look past my artificial smile to discover the broken girl inside
Every night when I look out the window
I see the children of light shining through, casting hope on me
I cry myself to sleep, and wonder when I will be strong
The last few pieces of the flower, fray and slowly float to the ground
My world’s breaking apart, and I’m falling to pieces everytime
My words are gone, flown away in a disappearing trace
Faith becomes evanescent
But thats when light shines on me again
Eventually time will heal all wounds, leaving behind scars reminding me forever
When my chains are gone, and I am free
My wings will be mended, emerging to touch the sky
I will not give up on myself
They won’t get the best of me
When life knocks me down
I can chose to get back up and stand up for myself
I am broken, but I have shattered into a stronger person
A person who believes in myself
Even when no one else does
I just want people to know, that whatever life hands me
I’m still going to stand strong, and fight for my dreams
After the storm, the birds will sing,the best has yet to come
And the dying flower will give birth, to a fresh bud
