Reconcilliation

The next time you
Want to be
Level with me
Pull yourself up, boy,
Don't drag me down.

I've worked for the way
I can deal with this
Mess, and I can't
Let you crush me
By killing my strength.
I can't let you
Love me
If this is your love,
It feels more like
Hatred
To me.

The next time you
Want to get
Even with me
Try healing yourself
Not injuring me.
