Listen my father used to say ignore what they say about you and i listened but he didnt tell me that listening is hard taking everything and keeping it locked up deep inside your heart. he didnt tell me that one day i'll go to the razors because i wont be able to listen anymore because the locked up heart broke and shattered into tiny little pieces and the words fell out all over the floor he didnt tell me that other people felt like me and i wasnt the only one that felt this way so i lived in a box house made up of insults and tears and scars and i lived far away from everyone who tried to care because that's what i was taught to do he didnt tell me that i didnt have to ignore the compliments so i lived my #life repairing a shattered heart and blocking everything else out
