Stricken

When you get news so devastating

That your mind goes numb

It doesn’t seem possible

But trust me, it happens

When someone says something to you

That makes you second guess

Every goddamn thing

Or when they hurt you so bad

All you wanna do is scream

Sometimes I feel like hiding or running away

But other times I want so badly to just make them pay

That sick-to-your-stomach feeling,

When the tears won’t come out

God I’m so sorry

If you’ve ever felt like that

So strained and worn out
