The Hardest You Could Be

And you will find no fear here, in unkind words or the hardness of others.

And you will find no sadness here, in the meanness of the world, in the anger that comes from those who feel small.

And you will find no hurt here, in a million insults or a single, softly spoken lie.

Because only a hard heart shatters.

Only a hard heart breaks.

"Sometimes life is insane,
But crazy I know I can do.
'Cause crazy is perfect
And fucked up is perfect!"
