Think thin.
"C'mon Leigh, it won't be THAT bad." Tyra said, her eyes eager as she polished off a bag of skittles.
"I just- what if it hurts?" I was nervous, I had never done this before.
"Leigh! Girl, you are so strong, you can do this! Just eat a lot first, and drink this." she handed me a half empty two litre of mixed soda. I started eating, the pain felt so good, my stomach hurt, it was full, I drank the 'swamp water' and we waited around 10 minutes.
"It's time!" she said, and she hopped up and ran to the washroom, pulling me behind her.
"Okay, so watch me, ok?"
"Alright."
You take whichever hand you feel comfortable with, and you t
I could take a breath and collect myself.
Put my fragile little heart back in that ice cold hell,
But for some stupid reason I keep telling myself
It gets better dude, don't worry, just wait and see!
I hear myself all day long just tryin to comfort me.
It's funny, I'm the only one who can't let me be,
Everyone else fucked off, so what do I do?
Someone rescue me.
I have a fear of water
I remember it trying to wash me away
You trying to wash me away
And now, I'm scared of it, to this day
But then something happened, something I couldn't believe
One day he died, when instead it should have been me
So I sat in the bathtub my bloodstained hands holding a phone
On the suicide hotline talking to people I don't even know
You were never there to tell me not to talk to strangers
You were never there to keep me out of danger
That guy you had dated once mom? He touched me
I remember he was so close, I could feel him breathe
I wanted to rip his lungs out through his throat
And to this da
There is always a bigger picture to be seen
Despite who you are or who you might have been
There is always a reason to take a step back
Ask for their story and take nothing but that
Look for a chance to see eye to eye
It's possible you're struggling through the same life
So battle together with god as your guide
Forget all the words that have faltered your stride
You have no been forgotten, you have his word
In different tongues and in books all around the world
You have a purpose, this I sure know
So stay strong, hold in there, you have seeds to sew
So welcome him with love, but fear him you must
Give him your respect but most i
You do nothing but discriminate by gender or race
Yet I'm he one who needs to be out into place nu uh
no way. not a chance in this world
the fact you think you can stop me is absurd
I'm what you tend to call a disease
so it is likely that i will spread with ease
But baby I have a dream So I'm nothing but infection
A sickness in this world that is immune to protection
huh! this whole word is a joke
You better smile while you lie in hopes you don't choke
And I'm desperate for you to choke so that you can be silent
then maybe we can pause or even stop the violence
Just long enough so we can be heard
Cliche as it is, unity is the wor
People run, that's just what they do.
We just don't have a choice, really.
We either run towards it, or away from it.
We don't even know what it is, but we want it.
If we don't want it then it scares the shit out of us.
So we run.
We run as fast as we can.
And we forget things that we cannot afford to remember.
We forget things that hurt us, that scare us.
We forget things that make us happy.
We forget that we have been running.
And then we get tired, tired of running.
Our feet drag, and we fall on our knees.
Then we just stop.
And when we lay in that puddle of sweat and blood and tears,
Everything we have been running from cat
