Destructive

One of these days I'll crumble

By Hannah RosePublished 5 years ago 1 min read

I realize that one of these days I’ll crumble

Fall to my knees, break down and mumble.

There is a level of pain I can take

and once I hit it, I’ll start to quake

I put myself in the line of fire,

I seek it out, it’s my desire

I want to change

But their labels cage

Just when I get better and I rise

They beat me to my knees with both truth and lies

I don’t need reminders I know what I’ve done

But soon what they call me is what I’ll become

One of these days I'll crumble

I’ll self destruct, lay down and mumble:

“Now your wish has come true

I’m out of your life, now you can be you.”

About the Creator

Hannah Rose

All of the photography on my posts is my own. I am a different kind of artist, I cant draw, but I see the world through a camera lens, and write from that perspective.
