debutainted

Stephanie Schneiderman

When the tears came down
he blushed upon his timid knees
the flowers silent on the wall
he couldnââ?¬â?¢t look them in the eye
the sharks were barely waiting
heââ?¬â?¢d take a bullet in the back before heââ?¬â?¢d fall

he handled like a dream the
sky was slightly laughing
at the irony of it all
the moment it arrived
had shredded him to tears
stripped down to two feet tall

hold it high they say almost every day

if you were thrown to the wall
would you rise or would you fall
and would you ride the tide of fortune like a debutainted doll
if your legend donââ?¬â?¢t sing
if you lost your everything
would your heart bleed down to pieces or bring life to your broken wing

youââ?¬â?¢re slowly losing ground
the wordââ?¬â?¢s all over town
you dropped the ball they say
you couldnââ?¬â?¢t look them in the eye
the sharks were barely waiting
youââ?¬â?¢d take a bullet down before
youââ?¬â?¢d run the other way

itââ?¬â?¢s do or die they say almost everyday
