Wake up and smell the roses
Wake up and smell the roses
To some just a phrase
But to me there is nothing
No roses, not even their scent
Why would there be with the pain I've felt
That careless wreck my father
He’s like a magician
He appears and disappears at a minutes notice.
Manipulated
I thought he was family
Too young to know what's going on
All those i thought cared
See it happening but stand in the background
How i wish he would go away
He laughs in my face still  lurking around
Knowing he can't come close is comforting
Though there are no documents preventing the memories
Darkness and a bile taste surround me
Copper in my mouth, warmth on my tongue
Piercing screams in my head
This is how it started
The blue sky turning grey
Tears hiding behind my smiles
Screaming on the inside, never asking for help
Sadness crawls over me
Depression and anxiety holding firm on my chest
I can't breathe or catch my breath
Oh how I let it come to this
Wake up and smell the roses doesn't exist
