Tapedeck Heartbreak...

Tapedeck Heartbreak...

Sing out loud, live life like you're bleeding, 
Don't let them tell you how you're feeling,
As you dance through life once again, 
This is no melody of a tapedeck heartbreak. 

I'm not built for a box or cage, 
My mental health has its place, 
Diagnosed or socially disgraced? 
This is no tapedeck heartbreak! 

From the etched scars in my back, 
I'm ready for your poisoned attack! 
Let your words fall on deaf ears, 
I'm letting you all know I have no fears!

There's plenty of sleep for the weak, 
Instead it's the stars and moon I seek, 
My name is up there in graffiti style, 
This life is mine, nobody walks my mile. 

I'm not built for a box or cage, 
My mental health has its place, 
Diagnosed or socially disgraced? 
This is no tapedeck heartbreak!

It's what lies inside, 
I can't deny my mind, 
Preaching to the choir, 
Looking down like a bird on a wire! 
Nudging, 
Judging, 
Begrudging a man that feels on fire! 
I accept the hand that I was dealt,
Two beautiful kids, that's my wealth,
Queen of hearts, queen of hearts,
The older they get, it's still bloody hard!

No more bitter pills I swallow,
I'm full of life, now not hollow,
I disliked society,
Forgot my reality, 
Dressed to impress,
But wearing insanity!
I went down a rabbit hole,
Posting a pick me up quote,
Looking for that emoji or like,
Even though they held a knife!

Set the traps, release the animal, 
Lurking in my den, I am the lion! 
A sleeping giant has awoke, 
No longer a wandering ghost. 

I'm not built for a box or cage, 
My mental health has its place, 
Diagnosed or socially disgraced? 
This is no tapedeck heartbreak!

Beat after beat, this is no Kanye or Drake, 
Beat after beat, this is no tapedeck heartbreak, 
Beat after beat, 
Beat after beat, 
Beat after beat...
