I consist of a few small victories And countless large defeats Broken dreams and records on video games Mixed with a shattered heart that's held together by silly string I consist of atoms and star dust with traces of imagination and permanent brain bruises I consist of my mother's depression and father's addiction with hints of my own demons The battle between dark and darker My veins are mainly lightening bolts and my bones are hand tools My skin is paper mache and my organs are just empty soup cans I consist of all my mistakes because my life basically is one large ping pong game of right and wrong I walk on the boarder line between relapsing and being fully clean My life consists of one giant horror story with small intervals of miracles The ending is still unclear but I think it will all somehow fall into place My brain is like a foam pit The longer you stay in it, the harder it is to get out My hopes consist of fears And my fears consist of fears I think I'm just scared 80% of the time I wish I could say that I consist of healthy ways of coping But I really consist of sinkholes in my arms and hurricanes in my liver I'm a real winner My eyes consist of greens and blues and sad realizations Crushed spirits and untold riches I consist of let downs and almost made its' And everything I left behind somehow found me Even when I changed my address more than 4 times And one day I will consist of true love and new traditions A house in the country and a passion I believe in Getting there will be my greatest achievement And I will look back at all the things I consisted of and only be left with one I will be consisted of persistence
