Her eyes look down on me, upon my sorrow As my soul lies on its death bed Lost in regret, I Could not change "I will stand strong in every way" Nothing but a lie to myself, step by step Closer to destruction When I try to turn away from that image I have failed those created in my own image I have crumbled I say in a small and frail voice, I say I will not fall and under the pressure of her gaze, I say I will not crumble I will not fall This ethic must permeate every aspect of my life, not just those that come with ease. Rise above, regain control Tear away from that image This "one time" has become a habit and will no longer be found within me I say again, this time with much conviction and sincerity I will not Fall I will not crumble
