Nothing else matters,
you cry in your sleep,
the tears I've collected
I bury them deep,
I haven't denied it's the
feeling I chase,
I feel pins and needles - tomorrow
I'll waste,
Who cares if the sun is a
light year away,
or hovering over too close -
you could say,
I mustn't aspire to every desire,
sarcastic reaction to
self-satisfaction.
my heart is full this new years eve
aware
at any moment
my heart can be ripped to pieces
this ticking bomb
no longer looms in my shadow
time
has stolen pieces of my soul
left me bare
to question my own identity
despite the cruel nature of the clock
I accept and thank you
for your ruthless love

It is love that moves time forward
I Worry because
My reflection
Is a woman I find weak
Some say worry is a mental wobbling
The hesitation before making a choice

How can I let this happen
Watch
As my Worry lives my life without me
Learn to stay quiet
Do not speak a word
You're allowed to be seen
Not to be heard
Your ideas will not matter
Since you have that pretty face
Otherwise your body
Would be such a waste
Yes, you are brilliant
But never must you tell
You read each novel in darkness
Plotting an escape from where you dwell
I can swear, I can joke
I say what's on my mind
If I drink, if I smoke
I keep up with the guys
And you see me holding up my middlefinger to the world
**** your ribbons and your pearls
'Cause I'm not just a pretty girl

I'm more than just a picture
I'm a daughter and a sister
Sometimes it's hard for me to show
That I'm more than just a rumor
Or a song on your computer
There's more to me than people know

Some days I'm broke, some days I'm rich
Some days I'm nice, some days I can be a *****
Some days I'm strong, some days I quit
I don't let it show, but I've been through some ****

I'm more than just a number
I'm a hater, I'm a lover
Sometimes it's hard for me to show
That I'm more than just a title
Or a comment going viral
There's more to me than people know
**** anyone that tries to pull me down <3
