I used to be a poet
But then I killed myself
I used to read fine literature
But then I lost the shelf
I used to be an actress
But then I overdosed
I used to dance ballet
And I used to tell good jokes
I used to be a painter,
Before my fingers broke.
I used to be a Christian
Before everything fell
Now I don’t believe in Satan
So I’ll be seeing you in hell
I used to breathe oxygen
Before my lungs filled up with steel
Sometimes I would hear music
Until I learned it wasn’t real
I used to cut my wrists
Until I learned I’d never heal
I used to be a lizard
Before my second life
I used to be a mother
And once I was a wife
I just drank some poison
But trust me I won’t leave
I’m solid, I’m a rock
I’m as strong as I’ll ever
