This Is How You Heal
When love fails you once again,
When your bright world goes back.
What do you do with your broken heart,
When you feel like you can't go back.
When all you do is lay in bed,
And you feel too numb to cry.
When the pain grabs you in a chokehold,
And all you want is to die.
You suddenly open your eyes-
You hadn't realized they were shut-
And you throw on a long- sleeved shirt,
To hide your latest cut.
You brush your teeth,
And you brush your hair.
You force a smile on your face,
For as long as you can bear.
You call your friends back,
And tell them how you feel.
This is how things get better-
This is how you heal.
bravo! that is what it takes.
