We grew up together
Faced the same trauma but in different ways
You had your own tales to tell
While I had mine
But how did we end up so different?
You learned to live with a big smile
While I wallow in my sadness
You learned to live life to fullest
While I try to survive through the day
You surrounded yourself with people and loudness
While I sit here trying to make amends with my silence
You light heartedly joke about your insecurities
While I desperately try to cover my shortcomings
You shine so brightly
While I try to keep my last spark alive
You're filled with ambitions
While I'm trying to figure something or anything out
You live big
While I try but fail so miserably that I end up crawling back to my hole
You attract so naturally
While I try my best but still end up lacking
We both have the same sadness deep within
But the only difference
You face it with a smile
While I wear my Armour to still end up being stabbed
I don't know who's the real coward here
You with your sadness covered up by a smile and a strong will
Or me with my melancholic soul who still yearns to fight for something better
Or are we both the same cowards afraid of life
But you face it with a bright soul
While I die little by little...
