My whole life
I've been described as
Hypervigilant
Trauma after trauma
I thought being an adult
Would solve these problems
I thought turning eighteen
And leaving my home behind
Would mean the end
But growing up doesn't mean
Bad things will suddenly
Stop happening to you
Growing up doesn't save you
From these new monsters
Under our beds
Growing up doesn't mean
That you're safe with the people
You thought you were safe with
Growing up just means you're
At it completely
And totally alone
The people you look toward
For comfort are the reason
That you're running in the first place
We are all born naked and alone
And we will all pass away
Naked and alone
Fight for yourself
Grow up for yourself
Live for yourself
Because in the end
You're what matters the most
You are all that's left
