Surviving Life without any Charm

the way I think,

the way I talk,

I was both loved and hated for the same reason.

I am a strong person.

But it doesn't mean I deserve the pain.

everyday, there are people

who will never be responsible for their words

no matter how stupid they are.

and I just hate the fact...

that no matter how I feel,

I should be responsible for how I act.

when you're silent,

people think you're sad depressed nor lonely.

they make an opinion far from the truth..

when honestly you just can't stand small talk.

I know I made mistakes but 

it hurt no one but myself.

They say I've been a hero to zero.

but my name is lyn and not expectation.

I have to accept myself, my flaws, and all frustrations.

the problem is...

people look at me as a period.

I am a semi colon...

I'm on process...like everyone else.

I know people don't have to like me

and I don't have to care.

they say different doesn't mean bad right?

but a little appreciation would always mean 

a lot to to this tired and weary person.

with all that, I promise to stay in my truth.

I know who I am

I know what I want

and I'll be honest with both of 'em.

Yes I can ..Yes we can..

survive 100% of life without any charm.
