"Love Conquers All"


It's getting harder to breathe.
And I thought for sure I could handle it.
I'm not as strong as I seem.
I need something to hold on to.

Get your lies out of here.
I don't need you to keep bringing me down.
I've fallen hard too many times.
I need something to keep me grounded.

And I promise you I don't have the answers.
And I don't think that I can stay here.
It was my heart that walked out too long ago.
I'm slowly dying without it.

I'm standing up, holding my ground.
I'm not letting you stand on my chest anymore.
I need to breathe, you're choking me.
It's not fair, it's not fair, it's not fair.

I've lost this war too many times.
To too many teams on opposing sides.
It's about time that I'm found.
Time for me to start living again.

This is the result of me bottling up my feelings for too long. I wrote this in studyhall the other day, and even cried while I was. Enjoy.

"You have to take the good with the bad, smile when you're sad, love what you've got and remember what you had... Always forgive but never forget, learn from your mistakes but never regret, people change, things go wrong, just remember, life goes on."

I can completely relate.  Keep writing and have faith... :)
