blank pages, empty spaces
who am i, where am i, what have i become
when i lose my words, i'll reach for images
there is nothing meaningful to say,
so i'll hide that in a rain fall
the way the wetness folds into your skin
the sound of laughter springing up from broken hearts
these are the memories we all hold onto
this is the universal that makes us pretend we're important
i get so blown away sometimes by my own insignificance
my life is so fucking boring
wake up, go to school, drive home safe
now press repeat, rewind the tape
i tried so hard searching for ways to be different
but in a town filled with ice and eyes that just can't stay awake,
somethings aren't worth fighting for
i found out the hardway you can't look up the answers
there's no back of the math book, no asking a friend
we just live and live until we're hardly aware of it
motions and motions of the here's who we are
i once read that no matter how much shit you've taken,
the little things still get you
even with a heart break , you still cry over a parking ticket
even though you know it won't matter, your lost phone or your ugly zit are still far worse than anyone else's holocaust
our personal universes are so compact, because they need to be
everyone knows a good story has a dilema
so even if our only problem is spilling coffee in the car, it still becomes our climax
and the only thing worse than this self pity, this pathos
is seeing the light of how pathetic you are
and realizing you just can't stop
i am obsessed with external appearences
i judge everyone inside my head
the little commentary, the she's so fat, the wow he's ugly, it absolutely disgusts me
how did i get to a place where this is what i'm made of?
shallow words we've always heard flooding throguh my brain
I look back to freahman year, and all i do is cringe
the transparency is incredible
a cut out magazine copy of the average 14 year old girl
but the really scary part is, back then i didn't realize it
if i dig deep, i remember thinking "wow i am so fucking specail"
i honestly believed i was a shining star
so where does that put me now?
have i really changed, or did i just want to?
are purple hair and pastel tights enough?
Can i use the cult movies, the bizarre books to define me|?
maybe not and i'm still stuck in place
maybe i don't know everything
maybe i'm still just a sick twisted 14 year old girl who has grown up to realize
she'll never amount to anything extraordinary
being grown up isn't half as fun as growing up
