how can I be the same?
how can I be the same after what I've done to me??
after the fear I've placed
inside my little broken heart.
after the hopelessness I've given
to my already despondent mind.
after the love I've seized from
within the thin walls of my heart.
after the peace I've confiscated from
my already shaken apprehensive mind.
how can I be the same after what I've done to me??
