Not What You Do
Nowhere to go and no friends to roam the streets
Hoping that someone will find out
Find out that you have been carrying a lie
That smile on your face everyday
Is not as it seems
You are not living your dreams
But instead creating streams
You were told it would always get better
And you believed
You took out the letter that crackled and cried
Cried because you missed them
Cried because you never tried
And cried because they died
They left you here
But you never gave up
You still had hope even though some people want you to let it go
They want you to feel as blue as a berry
Want you to feel all the weight you carry on your shoulders
As heavy as boulders
But that’s not what you do
You’re not one for giving up
Your realized something
As the wind whispered through the grass
This is a pass
Sadly some stories stop short
But not yours
Your strong
They wouldn’t want this
You’re family
You’re friends
Even your next door neighbor
Wouldn't want you to give up
You’ve come too far to turn back around
