Everyone
Everyone,
has a day,
where everyone,
is rude,
but there's nothing to make
the feeling go away
everyone, has a hard day,
and it can lead you astray,
but remember,
you are enough,

Look
I’m sick and tired of all this shit and pretending
Look
I’m sick and tired of all the fairytale endings
Look
I don’t know how I’m supposed to survive like this
But look
What’s wrong?
Said the snake to the songbird.
What’s wrong, little songbird?
Why don’t you sing me a song?
You see,
Said the songbird to the snake.
You see, I’m tired of running away.

Is this even a semblance of a
democracy?
Look at the atrocities
Pretend I am alright,
act like I’m just fine.
Wonder if you see the battle march
in every step I stride.
Pretend I am alright,
You have to decide
Where your loyalty lies.
Is it your friends,
Or is it your family.
Is it your birth clan,
Or the clan that took you in.
How ironic is it
That you don’t see this comin’
That you won’t be able
To wrap your head around this
But I don’t want
To speak
To see
To hear you anymore
And how ironic is it
Hello winter
dancing snowflakes, bristling wind
Hello winter
hold me safe in your embrace
beside the fireplace
melt away the frigid day
Standing still thinking about what I lost
Fire drill and you’re in the parking lot
Season changed and everything grows
Do you remember my last name

Kids my age:
Who am I
What do I believe is true
Who am I
When I see the truth
What do I believe
Don’t judge me by my cover
Cause honey you got it wrong I’m not your lover
I’m not going weak at the knees
Gonna do what I please
