DEFENDER'S RAP

• Time is slipping fast as she picks up the piece of glass,
• This feeling is over whelming, and she doesn't know if she can last,
• She tries to talk about it, but all they do is joke and laugh,
• And she's getting tired of being equal to nothing more than trash,
• I hold her close as she cries, the pain is visible through her eyes,
• And at the time, I cannot come up with perfect words to ease her mind,
• Although I try, Even though the feeling is killing me inside,
• I ain't the one with the scars and I already want to die,
• Please take this pain away,
• It's driving me insane,
• I don't know if I can make it through another day,
• I try to say, my thoughts but they never listen,
• I'm just wishing for a life,
• I never had but I'm missing,
• I wish I could take the pain away, make it into a brighter day,
• Roll a J, and promise her that these good times are here to stay,
• But I can't do that, these facts are the facts,
• She's close to the edge and if she falls there ain't no coming back,
• A whole life ahead of her, but shes caught up in the moment,
• Painful memories through her mind she tries hard to control it,
• I reach out a hand, cause I know she wants to hold it,
• and never let go till I say I won't leave and she knows it,
• This opponent is simply just a component of life,
• We all get stronger through the struggle and strife,
• and at the end of the night, exhausted from the fight,
• We'll open our eyes and see the morning beautiful sunlight,
• But until then carry on and stay strong,
• Keep your head up even after all of the hope you had is gone,
• and I swear that the pain you feel will never last,
• But you cut a piece of your soul when you pick up that piece of glass.
