day out day in
it's the same, cycle same routine
she yells and fights, picking the scabs
till finally i'm falling back through the tears
i hate crying
especially in front of people
especially in front of her
but i can't help it
i have no control over my body anymore
i can't make it twist and turn as well as i used to
make it risk injusry, push through the pain
my brain freezes up
i'm so fucking human
i hate that so much
but whenever she brings up gymnastics in any sense
tears are the only response i have
i guess it just shows the emotion, the pashion
how i've become it, made this sport my everything
there's no words left to describe what it means to me
that's why i cry
because that's my only hope of making her understand
it bothers me how fake they are
my mom pretends to care only when it's convenient
i hate her undeserved compliments so much
don't tell me my tap swings look great
don't tell me how i hate competing
how the hell do you know?
you're never there
you're not the one smahing into these barriers
it's just so hard for me
my progress is so slow
i have no way of proving
just how much i deserve this
otherwise it wouldn't bother me nearly as much
that no one gives a flying fuck
i wish i could be nocturnal
sleep when everyone else was awake
and stay up alone in the darkness
that way i wouldn't have to deal with anyone
my mom always compares me to people
especially people i really can't stand
shallow little bitches who care about nothing
who wouldn't know dedication if it bit them in the face
my little sister is clearly the favored child
she's the one who gets the i love yous
the nice little greetings
i'm just the extra
i'm the fuck up here
Why can't different ever be beautiful in this world?
I'm not allowed to have my hair dyed blue for school
i need to make a good impression on my teachers
how ridiculous
i don't want to be liked by anyone who'd judge me by my hair color
but again, it doesn't matter what i think
this is school we're talking about here
that means i'm swimming with my head below the surface
breathing only water, since i'm not allowed up for air
that must be why my lungs feel so funny
why sometimes, at the begining of the day
i already feel like i'm going to collapse
feels just like we're losing control
