I’ve seen better days

My eyes felt dry some days

Tears have dropped dripped as well

I’ve seen the worst in people I love

Let down I’ve felt

Heartbroken I’ve been

So many times I’ve Wished to cut the strings

Tell the puppeteer

I’m done, the world is cruel

But why?

Because I’ve seen better days

But tell myself I owe myself this much

So I let the pain seize the crack until there’s no more space to hide

But reveal itself so I can say…

I’ve seen better days

So do your worst

I’ll make room someday

Because what’s pain without happiness

What’s happiness without pain

Hand in hand these go

like day and night,

The sun and the moon

I’ve cried for days wishing someone would just hold me tight, say I notice and you’re not alone

But today I close my closet of hopefulness

Friends are so not there when I need them

But no worries

Because I’ve seen better days

Cool I act when I’m in pain

Stay in character when I’m in vain

But no one ever asks why today?

So I make peace nonetheless

Because I’ve seen better days

Who hasn’t?
