You were different As you repeatedly pointed out You weren't quite like the others You possessed a quietness which only titillated me further We had moments which will lie etched in memory forever We were different Together But then, like twigs under the feet of a giant You broke me. You may be the one I thought I desired You may be the one I thought I required But you are not Nor are you the only one for me There are plenty of fish in the sea Should I choose to go fishing. For now, the rods must stay in the barn; I have bigger fish to fry. Like changing the world, for instance Which to you is a preposterous and fanatical notion To me, is another thing to tick off my to do list I am different Knocking me down did not serve any purpose but to strengthen my resolve I rose slowly, like a flower amongst weeds of pain I came through, bigger, better, scarred but stronger Oh look what you've done I wish you no harm But I'm not exactly rooting for team **** anymore You're on your own there And rest assured, give me a few more years, And I'll show you just what you are missing. In that moment, poetic justice will truly be served.

A little different.
You were different As you repeatedly pointed out You weren't quite like the others You possessed a quietness which only titillated me further We had moments which will lie etched in memory forever We were different Together But then, like twigs under the feet of a giant You broke me. You may be the one I thought I desired You may be the one I thought I required But you are not Nor are you the only one for me There are plenty of fish in the sea Should I choose to go fishing. For now, the rods must stay in the barn; I have bigger fish to fry. Like changing the world, for instance Which to you is a preposterous and fanatical notion To me, is another thing to tick off my to do list I am different Knocking me down did not serve any purpose but to strengthen my resolve I rose slowly, like a flower amongst weeds of pain I came through, bigger, better, scarred but stronger Oh look what you've done I wish you no harm But I'm not exactly rooting for team **** anymore You're on your own there And rest assured, give me a few more years, And I'll show you just what you are missing. In that moment, poetic justice will truly be served.
