soon enough,

you'll realize your mistake

but

there won't be any acceptance

because it's too late.

i no longer want your remorse

i could easily find it

at the dollar store

without a million other

****** knock-off food brands

which made me sick.

i don't need another stomach-ache

from a fake apology.
I would love to fix this up more, but I have no way of rewording or editing

so this will do, I guess

Our clocks have been set one hour forward
shooting us into official summer
When our bedrooms hardly darken
and come midsummer
the Sun shines all twenty four hours.
I'm breaking bonds,
I'm healing scars,
I'm making my way out here.

I'm fighting for,
what I deserve,
let me make myself clear.

I'm rising up,
I'm making waves,
I've got a life,
that I'm not gonna waste.

I'll take two steps,
for every negative,
for every word they've said,
that put me down.

This world is raw,
it's fresh for the taking,
and I'm gonna take it,
and make the best of it.

I'm rising up,
I'm making waves,
This life is nothing worth wasting.
