NEVER STOOD A CHANCE Megan Anderson Stepped upon a new place, but burdens of my own personality break my back. Ready to crack Ready to snap Ready to break my own back. If acceptance is what we search for, why search so long for it in one place? When it was there all along. We just didn’t take the time to stay. Please stay a bit longer time, and analyze the lie. Why must we tell ourselves so many lies? Lies of the unknown. Lies told to us by our own eyes. Not good lies. Transparent when paired with a mind and a bleeding heart. When I decide to sit and take time, another voice inside my head takes the words that are said.

“Hey kid, don’t die just yet. Look around hear the sound of your own mind, and find the time, enjoy the time. Live in the moment, seize the moment, don’t look back at your opponents, They didn’t care enough to have your back.” They didn’t care enough to have your back. They didn’t have the time to care enough to have your back.
