Warriors cry

Life is a journey

This was a war of a year

I'll never forget u 2021

the moment the sun shined brightly

you took ur chance to tear at my soul

left bleeding on the floor wondering where did it all go wrong?

No one to help or maybe noone that gets me '

when I'm transparent you purposely misunderstand

you take a chance to pour salt in this wound

I play stoic; I act stone cold

guarding myself off at a distance

I refuse to give u the glory of seeing my pain

some days I felt there was no grace

where is Gods voice on the hard days

I Look for mercy and the strength to try again

Ive fell off the mountain left out in the cold

I keep reaching for the sun

yet I'm left here crawling on the floor

maybe not today I tell myself

but one day..... one day...
