i coated you in meaningless lies
i wished you could be proud
to be a daughter worth telling about
but i'm glued to my mattress
and drowning in the tears i never allowed you to see
watching others' lives and wishing they were mine
could i ever be the someone you smile upon?
do i even earn the pity?
when every part of me to you
is another lie?
i am nothing but the shadow
decomposing in your home
