I've been turned and twisted to fit your norm

and I bounced the fuck back cuz i dont conform

People get it wrong when they think they got me

You may grab a hold, but i promise that's not me

I may bend a bit here and bend a bit there

Then im suddenly bent backwards much more than i care

I'm not even angry when people are rude to my face

Cuz it helps me bounce back to my regular place

I make stupid decisions and almost let people hurt me

but really they dont because Im always learning.

I may learn that you're my ride or die friend

I may learn youre not and this will probably end

But, I will learn a bit about myself

and I learn and learn without your fucking help

I'm so proud of who I am and the person Ive become

That I always need to rememeber to look after number one.

Snakes may strike or bitches may attack

but that says things about them, i'll sit back and laugh

I see the all consuming insecurities that people try to hide

But i take my good with the bad and I take it all in stride

The world is bigger than me and bigger than you

So theres one thing I can always hold true

Ive been through it all, you wont fucking break me

So take your stupid games and go ahead and hate me

People come and go, it's a lesson that I've learned

I have my firewall up from the times I was burned

More important people have left my life

So don't think for a second that you cut like a knife

You're like a papercut, annoying, but I will fucking live.

And live happily without your unnecessary shit.

I'm fiercly loyal until loyalty is what you lack

Then you can watch me leave and turn my fucking back.

I'll be living my life, enjoying the ride.

And you can wear that insecurity mask where you hide.

And when you're old and all alone because you pushed everyone away

Dont cry out for me to brighten your God Forsaken day.

Sorry, if this sounds like an angry letter.

It's more of a release to feel a bit better.

To no one in particular, I'm just rhyming to rhyme,

Ive had a hard day so im trying to unwind

If it feels dedicated to you though, take it in..

Maybe you need to learn how to be a better friend.
