Saving Myself

There she goes again

walking around town wearing a fake smile,

paired with her favorite sunnies

to cover her weary eyes,

which tell the truth that it was all a lie.

Oh how they all loved her laugh.

Fools!

If they only knew,

a sinking weight is stuck

at the bottom of her heart.

Everything is heavy,

but she already mastered the art

of shifting into this intense calm

so no one can really see

That she's all out of love.

She's empty as a robbed room.

She had given all of her,

every piece of her heart,

for the voltures to feast on.

Not sparing a single one for herself,

Never asking anything in return.

But how she wished

someone would give her willingly

the things she deserves.

Yet she never got tired

of telling her heart to stop crying.

After all,

she is her own hero.

She is her own savior.

And she'll fight, until she can't anymore.

Cause that's the way

life has always been for her.

She knows she can't depend on anyone,

So she tries to save herself.

Because if she can't, then no one else can.
