Sandpaper People

“When people hurt you over and over, think of them like sandpaper. They may scratch and hurt you a bit, but in the end, you end up polished and they end up useless.”(― Andy Biersack)
 
 
 
burn me, scratch me, hurt me…
 
I don’t give a damn
 
cuz all the hurtful things you do
 
only make me who I am
 
 
 
you can try to put me down
 
or call me an ugly name
 
but no matter what you do to me
 
you’ll never win this game
 
 
 because I’m a diamond in the rough
 
I’ll sparkle through it all
 
and no matter what you put me through
 
you’ll never make me fall!
