I found myself again
looking in the mirror
Wouldn’t have expected it
But I think I’ve made peace with myself
(I hope you can too)

Learned lessons
(If she wanted to she would)
And trying not to fall into old habits

Cutting the cord
I hope it doesn’t seem cold
It’s all love, baby

Reminding myself why I’m doing this when the silence digs a pit in my stomach
So when my friends ask about you I don’t have to give an I don’t know
And the pain that comes with that

Hated learning my anger is just like my father’s
There’s nothing more I want to do than cut and run
But I’m trying to be patient

I refuse to beg or wait around for crumbs  

So I remind myself every fifteen minutes that I’m young, hot, and educated
Nothing but net
