Meeting someone who finally cared Made my heart beam little rays of sunshine through my nerves. I wanted to be the person you admired as well. I was at a point in my life Everything was changing. I was transitioning from one end of the spectrum to the other. Yet being the ditz I can be, I let my fingers type out the words "I was contemplating suicide." Thinking only that'd you'd think someone who was in such a "dark" place Could be a friend. I now consider myself a monstrous idiot for not stopping my ravenous little digits And thinking. What would this cause me? It caused me a long afternoon in a counselor's busy office A long night in the hospital meant for those who actually were hurting And an even longer day at school afterwards. It caused me to worry everyone When it was only my selfish little desires of being "that" girl. The one who's been through so much, who's so cool because she's survived the pain The one who is nevertheless on the edge. When I wasn't. I want to give you my complete, utter, sincere apology For making your heart beat faster for the wrong reason. For making your mind shake with worry. It's about time they invented the time machine, don't you think?

My Mouth, Rather My Finger(s), Do(es)n't Always Cooperate
