I don't have to be broken

But, I am
That's how it always has been

I don't have to love you
But, I do
that's what hurts the most

I don't like my past
But, it won't go away
That's what keeps me up at night

I don't need anyone else
But, that's a lie
So why does everyone believe it?

I don't want to fall in love
But, I already have,
That means there's no turning back

I don't want compliments,
But, I need them for assurance
That's why I've become an attention whore

I don't want my body anymore,
But, my mom misses her little girl,
That's why I cut it off piece by piece

I don't like to show emotion
But, I feel like I'm about to explode
That's why you should run while you still can

I don't want to be tied down,
But the ropes only become tighter,
And so I let them suffocate me
