But above all, the person you will have learn to move on from more than anyone else who has ever hurt you, is the person you failed to be when it was time for you to step up.
I wonder if you’re slipping away, or if I’m just letting go. You have a faint presence, like jasmine tea, or when perfume is applied incorrectly. I’ve stopped insisting on your importance to me. I’ve drawn a line between myself, and the girl who swore to love you forever.
You can wish for it, you can pray for it, you can dream of it, you can even ask for it out loud, hoping that if you want it bad enough, the universe will answer to you by granting you your greatest desires— and still, you cannot bend incompatibility to your will.
I’m getting me back
criticism be damned
might not win people’s choice
but I never really trusted
the imaginary audience
you tried to put in my head
No more free shows
just to be called a freak show
No I’m not your dancing monkey
you can call on command
You like to point out
other peoples deficiencies
But throw a fit
when everyone else can see
You’re not that smart
You’re not that cool
Your shitty takes on art,
everybody’s fool
But if you’ve got all
the answers to the universe
Then how’d we end up
in the same circus?
Don’t address me
about who I used to be
cause I’m not looking back
ever again
I’m not doing that
ever again
Don’t come to me
with old memories
already paid for my past
so leave it at that
I don’t need your blessing
to live my life
So you can call me selfish
for having a spine
If your patience for people has gotten thin, the smartest thing to do is to sit out the game and recuperate emotionally before dating or befriending new people. Cause now you holding these strangers to unrealistic and very aggressive standards. It’s not fair
You’ll never know me as well as you think you do.
You’ll never know me as much as you might want to.
You’ll never know me no matter the years spent.
You’ll never know me without my consent.
I’ve left you alone, so why are you still thinking about me?
I’ve left you alone, so why are you telling people I’m crazy?
I’ve left you alone for all these years, and you still twist the story.
So why won’t you leave me alone? I’m letting you rest in peace.
