Always pointing out the flaws
Of the people around you.
Do you know it makes us feel lost?
Thinking you think what you do.
Insecurities,
Are what you create
Like we're puppies on a leash
Forcing us to play.
Smile when we're sad
And panic when we're mad
Forcing me to play pretend
Is this the way you want this to end?
A river full of hate.

This puppy doesn't want to play.

Don't want anyone to touch me,
Don't pet me with the hands
That have hurt me.
Dirty
This is how I feel,
Dirtier than mud,
Or the jam between your toes.
Why do you want to hurt me?
Make me feel alone?
Lord I don't deserve it,
But that's what I've been told.

You think I'm not worth it
Less valuable than fool's gold.
You think I will take it,
Roll over and let it go.
You don't understand
The force of my soul.

Go ahead and kill me
This is what I wish
Killed by the demon
That's haunted me since I was six
Running away doesn't seem so bad now
That I've been through all of this.
Go ahead turn the tables,
But I'm not your princess

And I won't stay
In your castle
I won't stay
Your prisoner
Forever
I will leave
And trust me when I do
I'll never be coming back
For you.

No.
Never for you.
