the world tends to rip you apart
its callous for the most part
grow a thick skin, they say
supress your vulnerabilities if you may
all these treacherous facades and lies
shouldn't stop you from touching the skies
little are they in the know
the life boat takes a lot to row
while i try to thicken my skin
and lift up my chin
there comes another mighty blow
crumbling me from head to toe
i wander hopelessly, gazing into the sky,
hoping someday maybe I'd fly
sometimes its hurtful, sometimes its demoralising,
wonder when did the world start dehumanising
money or material is not always what you need,
emotional help is equally important if you pay a heed
all it takes is just an assurance and validation,
not always pinpointing and dictation
'yes you are valid, yes you are heard, yes you matter'
is all it takes to brew a healthy character
A/N: putting an end to my two years break from wattpad. I'll probably revamp and meet you all in a new way, August 2021. Inshallah. Remember me in your prayers.
