It Wasn't For You, But About You
This is for the ones who were told to ¨get up, you’re not broken¨
When the reality is that you are dying inside
Just waiting for the arms of Death to welcome you with their cold embrace
Cold
Cold as the blood coursing through your veins
Cold as the thoughts that caused the actions that you made that caused that little boy to get killed
This is for the boy that I never knew
The one that my heart longed to feel the touch of again
To hear his voice
That toxic laughter that triggers the lethal memories by pulling the trigger
When all we want is to feel loved and safe
The ghost of the little boy comes back
The same one that the people who told you that you were broken killed
Because it never really was you
It was what they did to you that killed him
It was the entitled monster that came out and shook his hand and said,
¨Good day,
Welcome to Hell.¨
