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
