Because Even Thugs Cry

My feelings are hidden

I tried to get you out of my life

But you won’t leave me alone



I threw up

It ate me up inside

It made me want to cry



I like myself

I won’t let you bring me down

I’m not that bad



Temporary Euphoria

Absolutely Nothing



A moment of clarity

It’s hard to cope with these feelings

I hope I die for a principle



All this I seem to conceal

False sense of self worth

This is such an unpleasant world



My minds got to stay on point

They way we wanted to go

Our love will conquer all



God is love

You will no longer be alone.

I worked in the rehab for a while.  The residents stood up to read some of thier writing.  I took parts of what they said and used it to make this.
