Not even my lungs drowning in alcohol Was enough to pretend I was fine To pretend the wounds weren't festering With venom spat by Envy Is it a shame to spend time away From those whom claim to own your love But never mind the shared name There's only so much a child on the edge can bear Until two rough hands shove them over the edge Plummeting through shame and neglect No one ever knows the worth of an object containing life until it tis dead But what if that is all it was All I was An Object

Rejected, Not Forgotten
Not even my lungs drowning in alcohol Was enough to pretend I was fine To pretend the wounds weren't festering With venom spat by Envy Is it a shame to spend time away From those whom claim to own your love But never mind the shared name There's only so much a child on the edge can bear Until two rough hands shove them over the edge Plummeting through shame and neglect No one ever knows the worth of an object containing life until it tis dead But what if that is all it was All I was An Object
