Dirt

Amanda K lessig (Sunshine) 1987

Only the ruthless want to tear one down
There is no true strength in shoving others to the ground
Weak individuals feel power when inflicting pain
Strong men will hold you through the rain
Only a fool will tear a real woman apart
We have been warned of this from the very start
The heart of a woman can be the softest place on earth
Once you have broke a woman's heart your soul will be left in the dirt
