i laid in bed that day, tossing and turning like there was no tomorrow
time will pass and i will lay there listening to the kids playing outside
i will wear this shirt until it disintegrates and i will let my hair grow
there will be dry tears fading away from that night i lay here and cried
it wasn't a forced action but straight from my own beating heart
when i realized that it was over before my adventure had yet to start
the old creaky floorboards will slowly give up and give in to the weight
it will send me sprawling and falling so fast, but this is not my fate
i should not have left the safety of my room to the bright lights outside
where your sense of privacy is narrow and the pointing fingers spread out so wide
my skin will lose its brilliant pale hue and scissors will cut my flowing hair
i will smell the air but shout out in despair with so much emotion people will stare
they can put me in the most popular clothes and shove academics into my head
try and throw me into the crowd but i will stand out even more instead
so please let me walk away and i swear that i will leave you alone
too much pressure and i am not strong; it will eat away right to the last bone
you would think that i'd be used to this kind of treatment years ago
but give me another chance so i can stop myself from falling below
i can fake the greatest smile in the world to pass this lone obstacle
watch as i show you how concerned i can be by pacing a giant circle
wait and my hair will grow long again and this clean shirt will lose its vibrancy
leave me be and you will never hear from me again, this i can guarantee
