Tough

by Daz Mellow   Mar 4, 2007


I don't get it, why are you still here?
Do you want to watch me shed all these tears?
Watch me shake with fear,
As I watch you walk away.

I'm not saying that I cant stand up on my own two feet.
Not saying that every time you walk away I get weak.
But what I'm saying is,

If you want to see me cry,
You got to break my heart and tear me apart.
cuz all you've been doing lately is leaving me here,
And if you expect me to waste even a drop of tear,
Baby, you've got to be kidding me.

It takes more than what you have to hurt me,
The coldness of your heart wont freeze me.
The fire in your eyes wont burn me.
Whatever you throw at me,
Whoever you try to be,
I can withstand it.
Cause to make me shake and quiver,
It takes a real man.

Know why you cant change me,
Know why you cant hurt me,
Know why nothing you ever do can jade me?
No, you don't.

Cause I'm tough!
Tougher than the rocks you throw at me,
Tougher than the walls of the trap you try to put me in,
Tougher than the solid darkness you tried to put me though,
And if you haven't already figured it out,
I'm tougher than you.

Put me in a fire and I wont burn.
(put me in a fire and turn it up high)
Just drop me off at the coldest place on earth,
(drop me off in a cold place and make the wind blow)
I wont freeze to death.
Do what you want to make me cry,
But the blood and tears coming from my eyes,
Wont be signs of weakness.
I'm just getting stronger,
(stronger and better)
And I'm getting better,
To not make the same mistakes I made.
Cause what you are is a stray line made by a pencil I'm holding.
Whenever I notice it, I can just take out my eraser and easily,
Erase you.

    Perhaps my favorite so far, the authority in this poem is great, acknowledging some pains but unwilling to give into those, to give up self. Not sure if you understand that, but it makes sense to me haha.
