In these bodies we will live, and in these bodies we will die. And where you invest your love, you invest your life.


Battling through pain, battling through sorrow
Who says anything will change tomorrow.
It’s been a while since I’ve felt this alone,
Sometimes I don’t even feel welcome at home.

They say there is happiness in solitude,
You just have to change your attitude.
But when is a little too much,
And soon you become too far to touch.

Words, lies, rumors and whispers.
After all this time I thought we were sisters.
The words form sentences, the lies believed true
And all those rumors came directly from you.

Dirty stares, turned faces, pointing fingers,
Now I know better than to linger.
Because if I do, I actually fear,
I will never make it out of here.

Day after day, week after week,
I wish I could stand up and say something,
Instead of staying here quiet and meek.

But who would listen?
That’s the problem.
No one.

This isn't about me, just something i wrote. I hear teens all over the country going through hard times and I wrote this for them, for the ones who don't know what to say.
