survivors

When I’m down you say I must need more of you in my life

I think I’ve had enough of you for an entire lifetime

When I’m sad you say you feel all of my pain inside

I swallow up my tears as yours flow down instead of mine

You say you love my honesty so why am I afraid

Of showing you my heart I’d rather hide away

I’m not your supplier I was just supposed to be your child

Now I’m a survivor of you

I know that you’re hurting and it breaks my heart to think about it

You are a survivor too

What do we do

Innocence taken with no way to repair all the shame that you now had to bare

You can’t remember how all of this began

So you placed your pain into my hands

But I can’t hold it anymore
