Bend

Public humiliation, I laugh 
when you try to find 
tears in my eyes 
because i've left it all behind 

is that just the lie? 
Or did I stop "the try" 
at a simple peace of mind? 
Could I ever just be kind? 

I don't wash away like sin 
when you say "stop!" 
That's when I begin 
because I don't break 
I just bend 

You can't catch, all my tears 
I left them with all those years 
I'm no more their resident 
but it's something I may resent 

you taught me things I will not say 
I really wish they could stay 
but I won't break, break this day 
so I bend, in an awful way
