Flesh & Bones.

It doesn't take strength to
Fly into a rage
Flip tables, slam doors and holler back
To justify yourself.

It takes strength,
To sit through and hold yourself together
When someone who means the most to you
Tell you how pathetic and weak you are
After striving to be better
All these years.



Flesh and bones,
Once joined,
It's hard not to be vulnerable with one another.

Lest you hear (your loved one) cursing you.''
