Finally Stronger
Am I depressed or just angry at times when life dealt me memories I’d rather not find.
Am I sad, sad that life showed me moments I wish the clocks froze their mechanical movements.
Am I down because life wants to see if my smile has the guts to stand and compete.
Do I escape this asylum by cranking the volume, if I numb down the pain does my sanity follow.
When I smile am I fixed or easier to hide what lies just beneath.
Did I get to a point where I broke,did those cracks try to tear me apart.
Did it’s ink seep onto my heartstrings etching my personal surroundings.
Did my soul try to leave or do I hold it hostage, this connection is worth much more than the carnage.
I carry on pieced back together, life pierced my skin but it’s grown into armour.
I try to forget but it’s a constant reminder.
Life can be fun but sometimes the hardest,only then do you realise you’re finally stronger.
