You think you could hurt me?Well you didn’t, I swear I didn’t spend nights cryingPryingMyself to piecesLike, why didn’t you care?You think you can break me?I call this character buildingBlocks like Lego Who I amKick it downIve got a new diagramI rebuild myself better each timeYou think you can love me?Try harderPlease

Woman

Trigger warning

Trigger warning, it wont be nice You wont be able to look people in the eyes. Trigger warning, those who don’t know will make jokes unaware of the emotions it evokes. Trigger warning, someone will find out and they will ask what its all about Trigger warning, when they know it will hurt them more…
