I don’t have the strength to stand anymore…
So I guess I’ll lay down dead, phone in my hand,
Waiting for the phonecall that only comes after I prick my finger on the spindle.
I could have been ok, but that window of escape is slammed shut on my thumb
I can’t feel anything but the pain today.
I’m tired of being the dragon in this broken fairytale,
That’s all I know how to be, because the other side of me is locked away
In a cage, imprisoned for making me vulnerable,
All I know how to do is be scary,
Keep them from taking advantage of me.
I hate people, that’s why,
They see through your death threats and into your brittle soul,
And when you decide to love them, they decide to break you,
It’s faultless in its timing when you finally open up and show
Everyone
