You were losing your ****
Over some stupid homework
(*"No, not homework, study!
You need to study too!"*)
You were unaware
That I had been sulking
About a body
Not matching a mind
I was paralysed in my bed
And you were helpfully telling me
All about my laziness
All about my life
Or there lack of
Well, I haven't been motivated
To do much lately
Other than ransack my room
For possible compressors
But in the end
You only wanted
To compress my mind
My "mindset"
You say that you love me
And you believe yourself
But do I?
Oh, of course I do
But I can not tell you
How good it feels
To hear them say my name
And mean it
It rolls off of his tongue
Skips out of her lips
And I feel at peace
I feel at home
Funny how I feel the least at home
With family
But what's a family without love?
Unconditional love?
If you love me
Let me go
I promise that I will return
As long as you let me blossom
You see
You fell in love with a caterpillar
Mistook it for a worm
I'm tired of being so pink
It's time to set me free
Cacoons can not be paused
They're created with a purpose
I'm afraid that this time
The changes are irreversible
Yes, I am going to change
But when that butterfly appears
Before your tear-filled eyes
You must realise
That it's still me
