Bend Dont Break

Shut up in the darkness to cry alone
You rock to the rhythm of your tears
The torment caused by others
Ripping you to the bone
You reach for a hand to help you up
Only to be slapped back down
Kicked and beaten you rise up again and again
You tell yourself over and over
Bend dont break...
Bend with the stress dont crack
Dont let them win
So you claw your way up
Presenting them with that false smile
Pretending to understand
Inside seething
But bend dont break
And you will win
Show them you are stronger
Than they will ever believe possible
Inside the hurt rages on
But hide it deep from the strangers
Learn to control it
Bend dont break
Bend
Bend with the hurt
Bend with the pain
Break and you are lost
And they win...
