Self Preservation in a Dependent World
I'm not faking I'm just breaking inside trying to hold myself together trying to stay alive Do you think I wanna be living a false reality I'll smile here in this public place because I still have me and I love that face Talking to the one who hurt me most a dagger to my heart and soul I have to feel this pain right now it's mine to bear and the key to hope Can't turn away though my thoughts want to hide want to forget everything and just survive But I'm almost there to that resting place where I feel the pain and can't forget my name Though others lie I'm true to myself won't hide away not a broken shell I'm whole in one place so I'll hold myself all of my pieces and all of my doubt Living this life as my dearest friend no one can ever take me from me again
