Occupy myself with the thought I'm doing well. Smile at every child who's young enough to tell. Instigate the others while I cover up my flaws. Our apathy will tear us apart.
It's senseless.
Too bored to be with people, too alone to never try. Disappointment is the reason that I cover up and hide. Take another stab at getting through to me. The pain is not the thing that scares, it's what they want from me.
It's senseless.
Take a stone. Hit me 'till I break my bones. Cover me in blood. Make me feel at home. Burn my soul. Spread its ashes on the floor. Take me for a fool. Push me through the door.
Some are born in glitter. Some are born in gold. Some are born magnificent. But I was born too old. A vision just obstructs you when a brain gets in the way. Authenticity’s a problem if you think twice about what you say.
