23/F Just a girl wanting to get her thoughts out there
In my head I’m still 18 I feel young and immature But I’m also reminded daily That is not the case Where did the time go? How did I get 5 years older? The world keeps moving forward But I want to stay in place Just a little longer

18 again
Take me somewhere Anywhere I’m sure it’s better Than this dump Called my mind I want to be free from thoughts That keep me up at night From daily responsibilities That occupy me Sometimes I wish I wasn’t selfless Considerate and obedient Maybe then I could “Let loose” and fulfil My heart’s desires

Let’s be strangers not friends That way we don’t have to be intimate That way we won’t worry about betrayal That way we won’t have expectations And won’t face disappointment There’ll be no commitments And no reason to be loyal If we become friends we’ll get hurt Imagine if we go further So let’s be strangers, no intros necessary

Let’s be strangers
I gave you power over me You never knew you possessed An unintentional gift I would say You controlled my emotions But you had no idea I’m taking back that power To get back in control I can’t call it a gift If you didn’t receive it

I could no longer See you in reality But I could see you In my dreams I had another one last night It seemed so real But I knew it wasn’t You promised me it was real Like a fool, I believed you I found out you lied When I opened my eyes

Dream
I’m thinking back to the past I’m retracing my steps Figuring out what happened last How everything went downhill Was it something I said or didn’t say Was it something I did or didn’t do Was it something I should have noticed But was blind to Things took a tragic turn We were driving straight But made an unplanned turn There’s no way to get back on track Still trying to figure out why we made that turn Where did I ever go wrong I’ve been in the darkness Just trying to see the light What should I have said What should I have done Where should I have gone Where did I ever go wrong

Where did I ever do wrong
She was living strong On the outside But she was broken On the inside He was trying to heal her From the outside That way she would change From the inside Her soul was broken into fragments On the inside It began to reflect On the outside Trying to heal her broke him On the inside Now he’s trying to be happy On the outside They will gather the fragments Of their souls Put them back together And become whole again

Fragments
The chair I sat in, broken The glass I drank from, broken The light bulb in my room, broken The window I look through, broken The mirror with my reflection, broken The wall I had up, broken Now my heart, in pieces Because of promises you couldn’t keep I wanted to keep having faith But I should have known when to stop Now my heart is broken Just like the promises you made
