I know you're exhausted
and more times than not
you feel defeated
emotionally drained
there was a time when
you would suffer in silence
unmotivated to do anything
but you've kept busy
as best as one can
it's hard to forget the pain
even harder to forget
those who helped cause it
you gave so much of yourself
as you always do
only for those to prove
that they didn't deserve you
now they're watching
hoping to see you break down
returning to that person
who once suffered in silence
unmotivated to do anything
they've come to see the show
but I know what you're made of
so let them keep watching
and get ready for the
performance of a lifetime
they'll still never deserve you
but they do need to see this
