I’m planning my own happiness just for you to ruin it I’ve lived a thousand lives not one of them with you in it Each one I’m born a serpent but I can’t find my own tail I eat myself head first I’m existing just to fail I do just fine mistaking my own life for something that it’s not I don’t need you here reminding me of my worth like I forgot I know my place I hold my shape I’m a soul thats then left wanting What’s the difference between what you are to me and haunting? I don’t see difference between what you do to me and haunting. Darwin wrote a million words just for me to be born wrong A sock seam twisted weird or a boiling *** left on Seems odd to be born on the brink — at the edge of what we’re not You say that I’m a new me but like my old self I forgot Does that seem like a lot? Do I seem like a lot? I think I was born beginning to rot
