A life is worth more than any promise can hold.


Secrets we cannot keep


By: Erin 

Do you promise?
Do you swear?

Ok. I’ll tell you then.
I made myself throw up today

NO! YOU CAN’T TELL!
YOU SWORE YOU WOULDN’T

I HATE YOU
I HATE YOU

I’m sorry you hate me
I’m sorry I made that promise and swore
But when it comes to your life –
I care about that more

This could kill you today, tomorrow or next year
And that is my biggest fear

I PROMISE I’LL STOP
NO I SWEAR THAT I WILL
TODAY WAS THE LAST DAY
I’LL DO WHATEVER YOU SAY

I’m sorry again but don’t you understand
Promises and swears are too small for the problem at hand
You need support and help with what you have to face
I know this because I have been in a similar place

WHAT? YOU HAVE? WHAT ARE YOU SAYING TO ME
YOU HAVE ALWAYS BEEN THE PRETTIEST TO SEE

You will learn it’s not about the outside as much as you believe it to be true
The biggest battle is learning to love being you
I’ll be here to help you but you need other support too
But we need to tell others that love you to make sure you get through

OK. FINE – BUT WILL YOU HELP ME TELL THEM I DON’T KNOW WHAT TO SAY
Yes my friend I will be with you each step of the way.
