Just a quick fun sketch I did, based on a song my buddy showed me that made her think of me called “Pity Party by LovlyTheBand”

Survival

I closed my eyes, so that I may more clearly see I closed my ears, so that I may more simply be — held my tongue — dropped my pride — gave my heart — died inside I lost myself, and this is what’s now left of me

I’ve held my own, and picked myself up off the ground I’ve bared my soul, then licked the wounds without a sound — birthed a life — sold a lie — clipped my wings — tried to fly I’ve walked alone, wandering broken and hell-bound

The past, like sand that’s raining down Forms a twisted, sadistic maze The end of which holds nothing but False memories of better days I’d hide my scars, but I no longer have the will Forgive myself, but I never did have the skill — shattered dreams — float in tears — disheartened — by the years I’d find myself, but even that escapes me still
