Have you ever wanted to change your personality to please others
Its as if there's a law of worth
Saying your not good enough like some evil curse
You see she tried to exit them from her mind
But its like shes running out of time
To please the happiness of others
Friends , cousins, and brothers
Or maybe sisters and mothers
People say Jade’s personality was weird so she changed
“Jade, what's with the new attitude?” so she changed
The years spent on change has claimed my pain
As if im sugar with no cane
Who is Jade ?
Jade is lost and can't find her mind
That’s lost in the dread and sorrow
She's eaten
As she’s feeding into peoples pleasant surprise
that she’s so happy as she dies inside
She cried
It won’t stop and it never will
So what am I here for?
Her feelings drooping through the floor
I’m looked at like a dinosaur
Soon she’ll realize
That the things she deprived
Won't always be archived
So she’ll try to survive
Without taking her life
The lack of confidence
Was filled with nonsense
Forcing her to stay silent
As the world takes her innocence
Her heart loaded with incompetence
She thinks about the 740,000 lives
A year
Taken
Breaken
Forsaken
So awakened to reality
There’s no way out but a brutal fatality
49,476 lives just in the USA
They’re expected to stay
Get over it and handle the weight
Slave away and start the next day
No, it’s not like a regular monday
So why do I feel unidentified?
Help!
By not making people cry
Make it to where I don’t feel numb for sleeping at night
Or better yet?
Don’t make them feel empty
Help their safety
Take them to therapy
Make them feel like life is a melody
Help them feel like their life isnt temporary
You can help change a life
You can help them strive
So help change an unidentified soul
One final time
