So Much More

Do you feel it?

Do you even know what you’ve put me through?

I know you’re in pain too

I can see it in your eyes as you taunt me

We could be so much more than the pain

Help me up; we could be so much more

 

You harass because you need to feel

Powerful, significant, noticed

You need to know that you are more

They say you are nothing, worthless

You desire recognition

You didn’t want it to be this way

 

You said you’d never become like them

You would be different

Change, escape

But the pain, it drags you down

Into the same cycle

And you can’t

 

You can’t do this alone

Help me up

We could be so much more

Me with my scars and you with yours

It could be beautiful

We could be so much more
