It's been awhile since I last saw you
I heard that you found her
The perfect girl
That is not me
And you treat her like a princess
While I am obsessed
With listening to the voices in my mind
Telling me to die
Everyday
Normal and I dated for a while,
Normal was a little high-maintenance,
Normal asks you not to laugh too loud, that's not very lady-like you know,
Normal tells you to always wear lipstick when you go out,
Normal demanded perfection.
Normal doesn't like it when your hair is messy or your nails aren't done,
Normal gets fussy when there are creases on your shirt,
Normal says, straighten that wrinkle, scrub that spot and align your smile,
Normal means business, there's no time to be sad,
Normal won't let you show your weaknesses, you must be perfect,
Perfect posture, perfect smile, oh! and don't forget that lipstick.
Normal unfortunately, wasn't for me.
So, we called it quits a while ago.
Last I heard, normal was seen trying to adjust the smile of his current love,
As for me, I fell in love with wanderlust and he's been good to me so far.
Here's to the New Year
A new me
But little do you know
That I will not change
I will stay the same
And so will my mind
In the ****** up state
It is already in
Because of you
And your demons
I remember that night that we fell in love
In my room
Listening to the sound of each others' heartbeats
Our breathing becoming jagged and shallow
Our faces getting closer
Feelings going haywire

And then I woke up
And found myself alone in my bed
The blade still in my hand
And then I remembered that night
Like a memory lost in time
And thought about why you left
Because of her
And how I would never be good enough

So in that moment
I let the sadness overcome me
And take me to its hell
And I thought
Why me?
All girls have a dream
To be loved by someone
Boy or girl
And to grow old with them
But for me
That dream will never exist
Because of one person
Who ruined me
And because of them
I will cease to exist
And I will drown in my own sadness
I used to know what happiness felt like
It felt like
Freedom
I never thought that I would be brought down
Like a wall
With strong bricks
But then my happiness
Went away
Like you
On that summer's night
And then I started to listen
To the demons in my mind
