STAGE THERAPY

The easy, fast & fun way to learn how to sing: 30DaySinger.com
We look at childhood photos and thank god for the glow up Without realizing how much of ourselves we had to lose in order to grow up Thinking that getting older equates to progress While undermining the amount of trauma we got left to process We got Black babies born into toxicity Cradled in the arms of depression Where broken homes lead to finding false-love disguising dark lessons And learning how to heal feels impossible Because we witnessed all the worst methods Where your own mind can't be considered a safe space Because suppressed cries birth abusive thoughts eventually The first time I contemplated suicide I was in elementary Now tell me Are you more tormented than a fifth grader Thinking you healed from old scars Just to step into adulthood and have to deal with the shit later Because trauma never leaves It just shows up in other places I'm from where we get use to putting on brave faces Because it's easier than feeling more alone than you did before explaining So silenced cries make me take my pain and mask it I realized that I'm never happy Just distracted Because so many calendar dates hold sadness Making me wear darkness hidden behind brave faces Now depression play ventriloquist to these smiles As I say goodbye vulnerability To say hello to safeguarding these wounds Now the closest thing to me being open is putting paper to pen I turned trauma into wordplay To clear it all out when I step on stage As an artist painting traumas in shades That make people call it beautiful Despite the damage that it do to you So lately I been praying to the God that I been struggling to believe in And I been closed off to the people closest to me I'm more comfortable opening up on stages in front of strangers When being alone with my thoughts Became one of the most dangerous places But after I leave these venues My suicidal thoughts be there when no one else is But it's cool I handle shit on my own I don't know what help is
