Briana

baby girl,

shed your skin

your happiness lies within

there is no need to escape

you’re running a never ending race

you are safe now and it’s all okay

let your guard down

to accept everything good that’s coming around

you deserve it

you are so worth it

i love you

as i put these thoughts on paper

i realize i’m in danger

the girl who trusts noone

i sit here hoping i can change her

the sadness starts to feel like home

and joy more like a stranger

she grew up too fast

has no faith that happiness will last

dealt a hand of cards that broke her heart

she always overplays her part

too aftraid to lose someone else

but instead she lost herself

she’s been fighting her whole life

i think it’s time to lay down the knife

chaos is all she knows

so she runs away only to realize there’s nowhere to go

the pain is rooted within her

a layer of herself she must outgrow

🤎

You give them too much, too often they forget it’s a privilege.
