everybody says

Everybody wants a whole lot of something for a little bit of nothing. Everybody says they understand and everybody says they got your back but when your backs up against the wall is when you'll find out nobody kept up with your tracks. Everybody said it would be okay the storm would soon be gone but they never had to sell their soul or stand naked posing in a two piece or a thong. Everybody says they're a good reader, but pay attention for a second, try your best to be a good listener. See I came from a little bit of something which was really nothing. Never was handed anything but I never let that stand in my way, did anything just to get by. I always pretended like I had it all figured out, but on the inside I was lost, a stranger to my own naked eye. I ignored a lot, kept my head up high, and smiled just to get through my day. I soon received my blessing and my life became clear. That was until I was tore down verbally, the damage was too severe. So here I am lost, alone, but still I'm surviving. I know that my blessing is still my blessing and giving up was never an option. I know this doesn't make sense and I keep going on but please just understand writing is my only home. Everybody says sticks and stones can break your bones but words will never hurt you. Your words felt like a razor ripping open my confidence I now walk with my head down, your words stabbed my heart until it turned into hatred I'll never love again, your words broke down my spirit and made me feel worthless, your words got trapped in my mind and now I feel like a prisoner. Everybody says it gets harder before it gets easier and so far all I've ever dealt with was the most difficult level. Everybody says prayer works so I get down on my knees and pray to a god I've never seen but I still believe. I believe one day he's going to make me into everything they said I couldn't be. Everybody says Its ok you'll get through it but its a lot to it if you're the only person that has to go through it. Everybody says a lot but nobody wants to help you until u throw the towel in and give up.
