Harden Your Heart

"Harden Your Heart."

I should have taken my own advice.

I know my heart is weak

Especially for that kid

So, I should have built a barrier

But that kid would have knocked it down

Like he did

When we first met.

I knew that we were the same.

I knew that he reminded me of myself

Before all of the crimes.

That is probably why I always wanted to protect him.

That is probably why he was like a brother to me,

My only real family.

But that kid,

Was braver that anyone else I know

Even myself.

As tough as I try to be, I'm still a coward on the inside.

That kid didn't deserve the life he had,

But I hope that he will forever be precious to someone

Because he was precious to the Gang.

He was precious to me.
