I've cheated death a thousand times
And every time I do
I wonder
What it would be like
If I did not make it through

You tell me
I'll find someone else

She's already here
Her names Mary jane
She eases my sorrow and takes away pain

I'll smoke
And I'll smoke
Till I forget your name

She's a gift and a curse
I see
Through the tears and the hurt
I forgot mine first

You sit on the edge of my sanity
Blocking my way
Screaming
"Please don't jump
You promised you'd stay"
So what's left of me
I give to you
I hope that you love it
More than I do

Do you remember when you were five and the worst thing that could happen was scraping your knee?

At what point did you realize there are worse things out there?

At what point did you realize mommy wasn't perfect and daddy wasn't invincible?

At what point did you realize you're not a princess and you never will be ?

At what point
did you grow up?
