Ever time

by Heather M Craig   Mar 1, 2005


Ever time your words cut me down
I'll stand up to you face to face,
I'll remind you of who I am and what I want
and show you I need no grace.

Ever time you use hand over mouth
and I must feel the abuse encore,
I'll just never let you see me cry
in my room with the locked door.

Ever time I'm building with my hurt,
I'll put on a show for all of you,
I carry my mask with simple glory
so you'll never have to worry too.

Ever time you think you know me,
I'll just pull back once again.
Ever time I'm plagued with reality,
I'll just go on and pretend.

-Heather M Craig-

First stanza popped in my head so I just took it from there...I do believe it's for my parents mostly but not one of my best once again. Vote/comment if your heart desires.
