Knives

Mon, 04/22/2019 - 10:49 -- rlwise

If at first you don’t succeed

Try, try again baby

You are stronger than you know

You can overcome it all

 

Always been the same routine

And every time it’s like drowning

In hopeful thoughts and pity smiles

I’d like to run and run for miles

 

Get away from the fake sympathy

None of them know how bad I want to scream

 

Take all the knives away

I’m tempted to play

See how far I can go

Before my arms are tied and bowed
