forced into a life that isn't yours

LIFE ON THE EDGE

crushed into a million pieces

feeling so small

there's not much left of your soul

and you

blame yourself

hate yourself

harm yourself

every way you can

.

unaware of your innocence

taking on more

than any creature ever did

how could anyone understand

your reasons

hiding away your skeletons

give those shoulders a rest

take off the weight and lay down your head

you should be righteous

but deep down you're so insecure

your exhaustion comes out of every pore

.

pushed into a role that was never yours

you're still the best

holding onto your duty for dear life

a better soldier never took a breath

and you're doubting your own worth

unaware of your own maturity

not knowing what's all this for

what is this madness you latch onto

living on the razor's edge

.

fool or folly
