I'm trying to survive
This life without you
I'm just a blade of grass in the dew.

Drowning in the mornings
Shrugging it away
Staring in the night
Stepped on in the day

A simple organism
Dull and afraid
A speck in a field
I'm just a lonely blade
What is this metaphor.

Water down the drain
Spiraling and spinning
'Til every drop is gone
Like my patience that is thinning

I know that I complain
I know that I'm obnoxious
I don't know what I want
I just know it is not this

It's not a funny joke
When my sanity's the punchline
Everything is gone
What happened to the sunshine?

*What happened to the sunshine?
Stop it.

I don't know but I've been told
You've not learned until you're old
I walk on carpet, you walk on gold
I don't know, but I've been told.

I don't know but it's been said
Fourteen years and almost dead
Haven't a reason to get out of bed
I don't know, but it's been said

I don't know but you've said it enough
Life is unfair and that's ******* tough
Pushed around and yelled at, rough.
I don't know but you've said it enough.

I'm not sure, but I think I know
I need you to just let me go.
Authority
Inferiority
What's new.

You can burn me a thousand times
And I'll keep running back
I suppose I prefer heart burn
Over a heart attack

This isn't about you
I'm leaving without you
I'm leaving alone

You should've thought about me
When you left without me
Left me without a home

I'm done with every teacher
The constant reprimand
I'm done with students (creatures!)
I'm done with your commands.

I'm done with angry shouts
And tear that spend the night
I'm done with crying pouts
I'm done with constant fright.

Another year older and...
Nothing.
So it's my birthday on Saturday. I don't feel like I've grown up. But it's alright! I love birthdays!
