One mistake,
one thing goes wrong,
and you break,
and you’re gone.
I’m doing my best
to hold you back
from total
collapse.
You seem so great,
you seem so strong,
and then one little thing
goes wrong,
and I see the cracks
start to show in your façade,
and I watch you
fall apart.
I wish you could see
how good you are
from the outside,
from another
point of view.
Maybe more than a shell
destroying yourself,
giving a little more
depth to you.
I’m not sure what took
all that you had,
leaving just a shell
that breaks when it’s sad.
Isn’t the point of life
to fill yourself up
with things that are good?
I really wish you would.
You don’t have to be
hollow
and fragile.
You’re much more
then you give yourself
credit for.
You don’t have to be
so empty.
Let life fill you up.
You deserve good things,
rather than being hollow.
