Keep Calm and Carry On
A glimpse inside the life of one who has seen pain
one who knows loss, one who has the strength to rise
No amount of betrayal can take the fire from his eyes
He has been here before but did not expect it again.
No worries are had, tears were shed weeks ago,
inside, I knew the truth… lies to ears, lies to heart
lied to self, “well maybe not” to avoid tearing apart
True love must be a lie, thank you for that, upward I go
