I GIVE UP

through the darkest of shades I've stood to keep my guard I've stood to keep my word the strongest I've been was for the best I wished Now my legs, a standing sponge Too weak to keep me up by my weight Too weak to guard my loved ones Now I feel myself closer to the ground A feeling I haven't felt in a while The pain of feeling what you've felt before A deep cut through a scar There's no other way to heal But walk away to the hills Wish I let my guard down earlier For I wouldn't have lost my legs Sulayiah
