One Good Reason

RSS

By No Child Is Innocent Once Born •

Give me one good reason why I should stay. Wait around and be ridiculed another day. Give me one good reason why I should remain When everyone else sees sunshine I see rain Give me one good reason why I should stand tall When all I want to do is curl up in a ball Give me one good reason why I should fight You aren’t the one who cries each night. Give me one good reason why I should smile When all I want to do is cry for a while Give me one good reason why I should laugh When everyone here knows my past.

well i like this one a lot and i disagree with just james... i think that writing about depression and getting everything out in the open helps a little. Writing about happiness when you're not happy seems a little unfaithful to your writing. --AUSTIN
