nineteen

i'm tired of playing the part

of a little girl who

can't use her heart. i'm broken

torn and scarred

from all the poison

you threw at us. but you won't know

cuz you can't see

the tattered child

you've made of me. you'll follow me

into my dreams

and spit your words

so desperately. i'll wash my hands of this tragic mess. and truth can't cure the blind

if they don't care to see. nineteen years inside this flesh

i fought through pain

i've paid my dues

but that's still not enough for you. so where do we go from here?

you won't keep me trapped in my fears. you're sinking in

your selfishness. we're tainted by

words left unsaid. you'll follow me

into my dreams. and spit your words

so desperately

i'll wash my hands of this tragic mess. and truth can't cure the blind

if they don't care to see. did you even notice

the look in my eyes

when i spoke of him for the very first time?

and do you remember

when you were my age?

do you remember at all?

don't follow me into my dreams

and spit your words so viciously

i'll wash my hands of this tragic mess

but truth can't cure the blind

truth can't cure the blind

i wish you'd change your mind

but you don't care to see.
