Why do I always make it about me, I try to relate but they would disagree, I don’t take my own advice why should they, I try so hard to help yet I always pay, I can’t get upset about anything because that’s attention seeking, But what am I to do when my castle towers are creaking, Should I hide it opposite to what I’ve been told, Should I burn my curtains and rugs of white and gold, All my carefully crafted furniture looking more like ghosts day by day, I’m seconds away from smashing each one, throwing them away, If there’s one true way to make this castle a home, I must have lost it to an ancient tome, It seems my walls of brick and stone, Will be all I’ll ever know, If only I could live in a house, Bustling with people, not only a mouse, Is there a way to get out of this alive, Or should I step to the castles ledge and take a dive?

Castle of White & Gold
Why do I always make it about me, I try to relate but they would disagree, I don’t take my own advice why should they, I try so hard to help yet I always pay, I can’t get upset about anything because that’s attention seeking, But what am I to do when my castle towers are creaking, Should I hide it opposite to what I’ve been told, Should I burn my curtains and rugs of white and gold, All my carefully crafted furniture looking more like ghosts day by day, I’m seconds away from smashing each one, throwing them away, If there’s one true way to make this castle a home, I must have lost it to an ancient tome, It seems my walls of brick and stone, Will be all I’ll ever know, If only I could live in a house, Bustling with people, not only a mouse, Is there a way to get out of this alive, Or should I step to the castles ledge and take a dive?
more depressed ranting but I liked using a castle as a metaphor for my mental health and emotions and maturity. The castle meaning I’m emotionally well versed but I wish I weren’t, that I hadn’t been through the trauma I had and could be in a smaller house with other people.
