when i was 13 i barely slept
putting blades to my wrist to feel what was left
i’m much wiser now but not less scared
and im not quite jaded but goddamn i feel a bit marred
i owe myself all the love that i’ve failed to show
to my mind, to my body, to all that has grown
cuz i’m worth my own fucking time
and if you fail to see that, it’s by no fault of mine
in a world that feeds off of making you feel wrong
one of the greatest rebellions is getting strong
so even if the world won’t love me, i still can
because drowning for so long made me realize how much i love land
so now i can’t be phased with fools who only attempt to hurt
for from myself, in the past, i’ve heard the worst
and what a fool was i for giving in
berating myself based on standards i didnt believe in
there’s only one piece of advice i am ready to give
to appreciate your own ability to live
in all the ways that you feel are right
cuz that’s what you deserve when you’re alone in the night
